| Obverse description | Front-facing episcopal bust depicting a bishop in full face, wearing a semi-circular mitre adorned with two pellets and a central bridge. The inscription 'L V' (Lucerna / Lucerne) appears in the field, serving as the city's identifying legend. The design is rendered in the crude, low-relief style characteristic of small hammered billon coinage of the period. The bishop's facial features are schematically rendered, consistent with the diminutive flan and limited die-cutting technology of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Swiss municipal issues. |
