| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of Fribourg, depicted as a fortified tower or keep with multiple tiers of crenellations, surmounted by an eagle displayed to the right. The armorial device is set within a beaded or corded inner circle. A Latin legend reading + MONETA * FRIBVRGENSIS runs around the periphery of the coin, identifying it as the money of Fribourg. The striking is characteristic of early seventeenth-century hammered billon coinage, with a naturally irregular flan. |
