| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of Zürich — per fess, the upper half bearing a diagonal cross and the lower half a lozenge-patterned field — displayed within a scalloped or beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by an ornate crown or decorative finial. The circumscribed legend *MONETA*THVRIGENSIS (Money of Zürich) runs clockwise in Gothic uncial lettering around the periphery, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The hammered flan shows characteristic irregularity in outline, consistent with early sixteenth-century Swiss municipal coinage. |
