| Obverse description | Central field features the spread eagle of Aachen, displayed with wings open and bearing the numeral '32' within a circular cartouche at its breast, rendered in bold relief. The eagle is flanked by decorative foliate sprays, all contained within an inner beaded border. The outer legend, in Latin, reads URBS.AQUENSIS.URBS.REGALIS.REGNI.SEDES.PRINCIPALIS.PRIMA.REGUM.CURIA., affirming Aachen's status as the royal city and chief seat of the realm. The legend is separated from the central device by a raised beaded circle, with dot stops dividing each word. The overall design reflects the civic pride and imperial dignity of Aachen as a free imperial city. |
