| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner border on a square klippe flan, the crowned arms of Nuremberg — featuring the imperial eagle and the distinctive diagonal bar — are displayed centrally, flanked symmetrically on either side by large ornate palm branches whose fronds curl outward to fill the field. A municipal crown surmounts the shield, rendered in fine relief. The overall composition is contained within a decorative milled outer border characteristic of Nuremberg goldsmith work of the period. |

| Reverse description | The Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) is depicted in profile, passant to the right, carrying a victory or peace banner over its right shoulder, its body positioned atop a terrestrial globe symbolising universal peace. The scene alludes to the Peace of Rijswijk and the new century, rendered in fine engraved relief typical of late 17th-century Nuremberg commemorative coinage. A beaded inner border frames the composition, matching the obverse treatment of this square klippe format. |
