| Obverse description | Central crowned shield bearing a displayed double-headed eagle, the heraldic device of the city of Nijmegen, rendered in low relief typical of late medieval hammered billon coinage. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential legend occupying the outer field. The double-headed eagle is depicted facing, with wings spread and both heads clearly differentiated. The overall design reflects the Gothic municipal heraldic tradition of the fifteenth-century Low Countries. The flan is irregular, as is characteristic of hand-struck coins of this period. |

| Reverse description | A long cross pattée with a voided center containing a large central pellet divides the field into four quarters, with the arms of the cross extending to and dividing a beaded inner circle. The cross design is characteristic of late medieval Low Countries municipal coinage, conveying ecclesiastical and civic authority. The legend, rendered in uncial Gothic lettering, occupies the outer margin between the beaded circle and the coin's edge. The date is expressed in Roman numerals as MCCCC LXXVII, confirming the year of issue as 1477. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the edges, consistent with hammered production. |
