| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned and ornamented arms of Mainz — the wheel of Mainz — rendered in a roughly executed, emergency hammered style, set within a beaded inner circle. The denomination numeral 3 (for 3 Kreuzer) appears at the base of the design below the shield. The surrounding legend reads MONETA NOVA ARGENTEA 3, distributed around the coin's circumference in Latin capital letters. The overall strike is characteristic of siege coinage, with irregular flan and uneven relief typical of emergency wartime production. |
