| Obverse description | Central field displays the Dortmund civic arms, depicting an eagle displayed within a beaded inner circle. The eagle, rendered in the late medieval heraldic style typical of hammered coinage, occupies the majority of the flan. A partial Latin legend surrounds the device, reading MON - NOVA - TRE - MON., identifying this as a new coin of Tremonia (the Latin name for Dortmund). The strike is characteristic of early sixteenth-century municipal hammered silver, with some weakness at the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a bust or figure in profile, likely a representation of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, rendered in the crude but characteristic style of early sixteenth-century hammered coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads MAXIMILIAN REX ROM, acknowledging Maximilian I as King of the Romans. The design is typical of imperial acknowledgment coinage issued by German municipal mints during the early Maximilian period, with the legend distributed around the outer border and weak areas of strike at the edges due to the hammering technique. |
