| Obverse description | A detailed skeletal remains of a cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) depicted in low relief, shown in a crouching posture facing right as if emerging from a rocky cave environment, with stone formations visible in the field. The date 1919 arcs along the upper legend, and the city name MENDEN is inscribed along the lower rim in bold capital letters. The naturalistic rendering of the prehistoric animal skeleton references the famous cave bear fossils discovered in the Menden region, lending the design a distinctive local archaeological character. |
