| Obverse description | The city arms of Regensburg displayed within an elaborate baroque cartouche, featuring two addorsed keys — the traditional heraldic emblem of the Free Imperial City — rendered in relief against the field. The design is contained within a beaded or rope border characteristic of small hammered billon coinage of the period. |

The composition is rendered in the compact, bold style typical of late sixteenth-century German pfennig coinage. |
