| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the tower arms of Fribourg depicted as a crenellated tower or gateway, serving as the city's heraldic device. The surrounding legend reads + MO: FRIBVR: followed by the last two digits of the date, all in Latin script. The coin is struck on a roughly shaped flan typical of hammered billon coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A plain cross displayed within a beaded inner circle, with the date incorporated into the surrounding Latin legend. The legend reads + SA. NICOL. 23, invoking Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of Fribourg, framing the central cross device. The overall style is consistent with the modest hammered billon small change of the Swiss Confederation in the early seventeenth century. |
