| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of Zürich — a shield bearing the imperial double-headed eagle — supported on the left by a rampant lion and on the right by a bear, both rendered in high relief in the early Renaissance style. Below the central shield, two intertwined fish or sea creatures (the so-called 'Kelch' or chalice motif giving this type its name) are depicted in the lower field, flanking a smaller shield. The entire central composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend reading MON·NO·THVRICENSIS·CIVIT·IMPERIALES·1526 distributed around the periphery between two linear borders. |
