| Obverse description | Central field displays the Brandenburg eagle, rendered in the late Gothic heraldic style typical of mid-16th century German coinage, with wings spread and the distinctive scepter device on the breast. The eagle is surmounted by an ornate electoral crown. The design is contained within the coin's plain field, with no surrounding legend on this face, the date appearing as the sole inscription. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a crowned imperial eagle displayed, representing the Holy Roman Empire, with spread wings and a detailed rendering of the crown above. Below the eagle, a small escutcheon or orb device is visible in the lower field. The hammered strike has produced moderate relief with some softness in the finer details, consistent with this denomination's production standards. No peripheral legend is present, the reverse design occupying the full field. |
