Obverse description Central inner circle enclosing the city arms of Bocholt, depicted as a quartered shield bearing a beech tree motif, framed by a decorative border. A circular legend in Latin runs along the outer ring, with the date 1616 positioned at the top. The lettering reads STADT BOCHOLT surrounding the armorial device. The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage, with bold if somewhat crude engraving typical of hammered copper issues.
