| Obverse description | Detailed interior scene in low relief depicting Michel Schuppach seated at a table examining a urine sample held up to the light, with a young woman and accompanying figure standing before him on the left, set within a pharmacy interior lined with shelves of bottles and vessels. The scene reproduces the 1774 line engraving by G. Locher. An inscription appears in the lower exergue. |
