| Obverse description | Central field features the imperial eagle of Dortmund displayed with wings spread, rendered in the late medieval hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. The eagle is depicted with detailed feathering and a small shield at its breast. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circular Latin legend reading MONE NOV CIVI IMP TREMONI surrounding the eagle, and the date appearing within the legend at the top of the coin. |

A beaded inner border surrounds the effigy, with the partial circular Latin legend FERDI II D G RO IMP SEMP AV distributed around the periphery, the date numerals 16 appearing divided within the field. |
