| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of Zürich — displaying the distinctive diagonal blue and white stripes of the canton alongside the city's cross — borne on a heraldic shield surmounted by an open crown with floral finials. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend *MO-NET-ANO-VA* arranged around the periphery, punctuated by rosette or star stops. The overall composition reflects the robust heraldic style typical of Swiss cantonal hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
