| Obverse lettering | MONETA + NOVA + COLMARIENSIS + (Translation: New coinage of Colmar.) |
| Reverse description | Central device features a large Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads crowned beneath a single arch crown above, the wings spread and elaborately feathered in the German Renaissance style. On the breast of the eagle, a shield bears the numeral 60, denoting the value of 60 Kreuzer. The legend FERDINAND I + IMP + AVG + P + F + DECRETO + encircles the eagle within a beaded border, invoking the authority of Emperor Ferdinand I and the Imperial decree under which Colmar was granted minting rights. The composition is consistent with the Reichsthaler standard adopted by Imperial free cities in the latter half of the sixteenth century. |
