| Obverse description | Central field features an elaborate interlaced royal cypher or monogram, likely that of the civic authority, enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches. A crown surmounts the monogram at the top of the design. The date 1689 is divided across the upper field, with '16' to the left and '89' to the right of the crowned cypher. The overall composition is typical of emergency siege coinage, with a bold, centrally placed device and minimal peripheral ornamentation. The coin shows the characteristic irregular flan and slightly uneven strike associated with hammered emergency issues. |
