| Obverse description | Bipartite coat of arms of Lucerne displayed on a square-topped shield; the dexter half bearing a stylized vegetal or foliate motif, and the sinister half plain or outlined, rendered in the heraldic convention of the period. The shield occupies the central field with no surrounding legend. The design is characteristic of the small billon issues struck by Lucerne in the first half of the seventeenth century. |
