| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of the City of Magdeburg — a fortified city gate with two flanking towers rendered in baroque heraldic style, surmounted by an imperial crown. Below the main arms, an oval countermark bearing the coat of arms of Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg of Salzburg is applied in the lower field. The surrounding legend is inscribed along the inner border, reading MON NOVA CIVITATIS MAGDEBURG with the date 1676, and the countermark date 1681 (rendered as 16S81) integrated into the legend. The overall design is characteristic of late seventeenth-century German civic coinage, with ornate cartouche scrollwork framing the shield. |
