| Obverse description | Centrally placed crayfish (crawfish) depicted in relief, facing upward with claws spread symmetrically to either side, serving as the heraldic emblem of the city of Cottbus. The initials 'S C' (Sigillum Cottbus) appear in the lower field beneath the crayfish. The design is rendered in a simple, bold style characteristic of early 17th-century German municipal copper coinage. |
