| Obverse description | Central field displays the imperial double-headed eagle of Lübeck within a beaded inner circle, the eagle depicted with spread wings and detailed plumage in high relief. Above the eagle, a mural crown surmounts the design, serving as the civic heraldic crest of the Free Imperial City. The circular Latin legend CIVITAT IMPERI runs around the periphery, interrupted by small pellet stops, referencing Lübeck's status as an Imperial City. The overall style is consistent with late 17th-century German municipal coinage, with bold, deeply struck devices on a plain field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Lübeck city arms — the distinctive double-barred patriarchal cross within a quartered circle — rendered in bold relief within a beaded inner circle. The numeral 192, denoting the coin's fractional denomination (1/192 of a Thaler), is prominently displayed in the lower segment of the quartered shield. Above the cross, a small heraldic eagle or ornament is visible at the top of the inner device. The surrounding Latin legend MONE NO LVB 98 192, meaning 'New Money of Lübeck, 1698, 1/192,' encircles the design with pellet stops separating the elements. The reverse is cleanly struck, consistent with the high-fineness gold proof-like presentation expected of a pattern issue. |
