| Obverse description | Full-length figure of Saint Paul the Apostle standing facing, draped in flowing robes, holding a sword downward in his left hand and an open book (the Epistles) in his right hand, with a nimbus above his head. The figure is rendered in high relief with finely detailed drapery in the baroque style. The mintmaster's initial K appears to the right of the figure in the field. The circular Latin legend surrounding the image identifies the saint as patron of Münster. |
