| Obverse description | Within a plain inner circle, an eagle displayed surmounts a bear passant to the left, the heraldic emblem of the City of Bern; a pellet appears in the lower field beneath the bear. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style characteristic of early 15th-century Swiss hammered coinage. The surrounding legend, separated from the inner circle, reads MONETA BERNENSIS, introduced by a cross pattée and punctuated by a sun or annulet ornament, all struck in Gothic uncial letterforms. |
