| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate type with the heraldic bear of St. Gallen depicted in left-facing rampant posture, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The bear, the civic symbol of the city, is shown with characteristic raised forepaws and open claws, with a small pellet above its head. The initial letter G appears in the lower field beneath the bear, serving as a mint or issuer identifier. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or beaded border running along the coin's circumference. The reverse is convex and blank, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage struck on a thin flan from a single die. |
