| Obverse description | The municipal arms of Herford displayed centrally within the field, depicted as a crowned shield, enclosed within a rope or beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend reads CIVITAS HERVORDIA in Latin script, identifying the issuing city. The overall design is characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century German municipal coinage, struck by hammered technique with a somewhat irregular flan. |
