| Obverse description | Rampant lion to the left within a beaded inner circle, depicted in high relief in the characteristic late medieval heraldic style. The lion is shown with forelegs raised, mane rendered in stylized curls, and tail arched over the back. The surrounding legend is separated from the central device by the beaded border, with star-shaped separators between legend elements. The overall execution is characteristic of hammered coinage of the mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries ecclesiastical mints. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in the bold hammered style typical of sixteenth-century ecclesiastical coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. The two heads are shown facing outward, each surmounted by a crown, with the overall composition dominated by the spread of the feathered wings and the stylized tail feathers at the base. The eagle occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend divided by star-shaped punctuation marks. The design reflects the abbey's status as an imperial institution within the Holy Roman Empire. |
