| Obverse description | Emperor Otto I on horseback, depicted in full armour with sceptre raised in his right hand, the horse advancing to right. The date appears in the exergue when present, and the surrounding legend is divided by four small shields of arms positioned at intervals within the field. The composition reflects a late 16th-century commemorative medallic style, emphasising imperial authority and the city's founding heritage. |
