| Obverse description | Central device depicts the façade of a twin-towered church (the Hamelin Minster) rendered in detailed relief, with the date inscribed between the two flanking towers. The city arms of Hamelin — a cartwheel — appear prominently in the arched entrance portal at the base of the building. Two small cross finials crown the roofline between the towers. The surrounding Latin legend is separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the centre of the field, its two heads turned outward and surmounted by a single imperial crown. An orb on the eagle's breast bears the denomination mark '1Z' (indicating one-half Thaler value). The eagle's wings are spread and rendered with fine feather detail in the characteristic Early Baroque style. The surrounding Latin imperial legend, referencing Ferdinand II as Holy Roman Emperor, is contained within a beaded border. |
