| Obverse description | Raised double-headed eagle displayed in the field, with spread wings and two heads facing outward, superimposed upon a shield bearing a rampant lion to sinister at its center. The entire device is enclosed within a plain raised border ring. The design is rendered in a bold, schematic style characteristic of mid-16th century hammered copper coinage from the Duchy of Guelders. |

| Reverse description | Incuse double-headed eagle displayed, the mirror image of the obverse type, with spread wings and two outward-facing heads, bearing at its breast a shield charged with a rampant lion to sinister. As a bracteate-style striking, the reverse image is the sunken counterpart of the raised obverse design, contained within a plain raised border ring. The thin copper flan shows characteristic irregular edges and surface patination consistent with circulated 16th century hammered coinage. |
