| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the city arms of Lüneburg superimposed on a long cross, dividing the field into four quarters. The legend MONE-LUNE-BURG encircles the design, with the date incorporated into the inscription. A mintmark depicting a knight on horseback rearing to the left appears within or adjacent to the legend. The overall composition reflects the typical civic heraldic style of early seventeenth-century Lower Saxon municipal coinage. |
