| Obverse description | Central field depicts a large ornate cross, its four arms terminating in fleurs-de-lis, with eight crowned roundels arranged around the cross, each containing an heraldic device including the Frankfurt eagle. At the centre of the cross is the Frankfurt eagle displayed. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the circumferential legend reading MONETA * NO * REIP * FRANCOFORDIÆ in Latin capital letters. The overall composition is characteristic of late 16th-century German hammered coinage, with strong relief and bold heraldic imagery. |
