| Obverse description | A tall medieval turreted tower (the Eschenheimer Turm of Frankfurt) dominates the field in high relief, with a rifleman standing at its base aiming his rifle upward. The legend arcs around the upper portion of the field, with FRANKFURT A/M inscribed on a tablet in the lower exergue. |

The cartouche displays the dates 1862 and 1887, and the whole composition is framed by a laurel wreath border with rocaille ornament at the base. |
