| Obverse description | Central field displays a composite heraldic composition featuring the conjoined arms of the three IJssel imperial cities — Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle — arranged side by side within an inner circle. Below the shields, a double-headed Imperial eagle is depicted in low relief, symbolising the cities' status as free imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire. The design is crude and characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the mid-sixteenth century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, naming the three issuing cities. The coin exhibits irregular flan shape and surface patination consistent with its age and copper composition. |
