| Obverse description | Panoramic city view of Stuttgart rendered in fine relief within a diamond-oriented square flan, depicting a detailed townscape with buildings, church spires, and a hillside rising in the background. The cityscape is enclosed within a beaded inner border that follows the square klippe format. The inscription STUTGAR / DIA appears in the lower field beneath the city view, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition is characteristic of the baroque German klippe tradition, combining topographical civic imagery with heraldic pride. |

| Reverse description | A prancing horse rearing on its hind legs is depicted in high relief at the center of the diamond-oriented square field, representing the traditional arms of Stuttgart — the name of which derives from the Old High German 'Stutengarten' (stud farm). A smaller foal stands at the horse's feet, reinforcing the equestrian heraldic theme. The scene is set on a decorative base with foliate ornament below, all contained within a beaded inner border following the klippe outline. The engraver's initial 'D' is visible in the field, attributing the work to J. Daniel. |
