| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned arms of Zürich — a diagonal bipartite shield bearing the city's characteristic heraldic device — flanked by two rampant lion supporters. The crowned shield is set against a decorative wreath of laurel or palm branches issuing from the base. The milled border is visible at the coin's edge, and the overall composition reflects the baroque heraldic style typical of late 17th-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |
