| Beschrijving voorzijde | The three Holy Kings (Magi) stand facing, each crowned and robed, flanking the elaborately quartered coat of arms of the City of Cologne, which displays three crowns in the upper field and eleven ermine drops in the lower field. The central king is positioned slightly elevated behind the shield, while the two flanking kings hold sceptres. A circular beaded border frames the design, with a Gothic-style legend running along the outer rim of the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Saint Ursula stands on the prow of a ship, depicted full-length and facing, with an arrow at her breast as her attribute of martyrdom, flanked by Prince Aetherius of England and Saint Cyriacus, both in period attire. Additional figures of the saint's companions appear in the background against a maritime setting. A circular legend in Latin runs along the outer border, enclosing the entire composition within a beaded inner ring. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cologne's 1620 gold multiple ducats were struck against a backdrop of acute political anxiety — the Thirty Years' War had begun just two years earlier, and the city, nominally imperial but fiercely protective of its independent status, used lavish gold coinage partly as a diplomatic instrument. The Noss reference with comments notation typically flags a die variant or documentary discrepancy not captured in the main sequence, worth investigating before attribution is finalized.
