| Obverse description | Full-length facing effigy of a crowned and fully armored Holy Roman Emperor standing in the field, holding an orb in the left hand and a scepter in the right hand, rendered in high relief in the Germanic Renaissance tradition. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The bold, somewhat crude engraving style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century Lübeck ducats. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with a shield bearing the arms of the city of Lübeck (a double-headed eagle) on its breast. Below the eagle, the shield of the reigning mayor's arms divides the date, with the full date appearing in the lower portion of the field. The composition is framed by a beaded inner circle and surrounded by the circumferential Latin legend. |
