| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered municipal arms of Wismar — depicting a bull's head and horizontal bars — set within an ornate baroque cartouche with scrollwork, enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The circular legend surrounds the shield, reading MONETA NOVA WISMARENSIS, identifying this as new coinage of the city of Wismar. The coin's rim is defined by a rope or beaded border running the full circumference. |
