| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the ornate shield of Colmar's civic arms, depicted in a Renaissance decorative cartouche with scrollwork mantling surrounding the escutcheon. The date 1564 is placed prominently above the shield in the upper field. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the peripheral legend, which reads MONETA NOVA COLMARIENSIS, identifying this as the new coinage of Colmar, struck in Latin around the full circumference. |
