| Reverse description | Within a raised circular border on the square klippe flan, a displayed double-headed imperial eagle is depicted at centre, its heads turned outward and wings spread, bearing a small shield on its breast. The circumscribed Latin legend CIVITATIS • IMPERIALIS, denoting the imperial city status of Zürich, runs around the inner circle, with the numeral 3 indicating the denomination of three Groschen. The design is executed in the robust hammered style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Swiss civic coinage. |
