| Obverse description | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed above a heraldic shield bearing the arms of Zürich (diagonal barry), all set within an ornamental wreath or branch border. The eagle, rendered in the Gothic hammered style characteristic of early 15th-century Swiss civic coinage, occupies the upper field with wings spread. A circular legend in uncial characters runs within the outer border of the coin. |
