| Obverse description | The obverse features the crowned heraldic lion of Ghent displayed on a shield at center, rendered in bold relief with the lion rampant facing left, crowned and bearing a decorative tail. The shield is surmounted by a large ornate crown filling the upper field. A circular legend runs along the periphery, reading STAD GENT to the upper left and FIDES ET AMOR along the lower arc, separated by small decorative stops. The overall design reflects a traditional heraldic style consistent with Belgian civic emergency coinage of the First World War period. |
