| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned arms of Göttingen: a large Gothic letter 'G' surmounted by an open municipal crown, with a stylised bull's head depicted within the curve of the letter, all rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 17th-century German hammered coinage. The mintmaster's initials 'I·E·' appear in the upper field flanking the crown. The circumferential Latin legend reads MONETA NOVA GOTINGENSIS 1627, separated by pellet stops, and is contained within a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with wings spread, each head facing outward and surmounted by a single large imperial crown above both heads. An orb is depicted on the breast of the eagle. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by pellet stops and contained within a beaded inner border, references Emperor Ferdinand II, reading FERDINANDVS II· GR·I·S·AV·, acknowledging the imperial overlordship under which this city coinage was struck. |
