| Obverse description | City arms of Hannover depicted as a rampant lion passant to left, positioned above a fortified wall flanked by towers and set within an arched city gate. The date appears in the upper field, with the mintmaster's initials divided to either side of the central design. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief style characteristic of late 17th-century German municipal gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | Imperially crowned double-headed eagle displayed with spread wings, the heads facing outward to sinister and dexter respectively, surmounted by a single imperial crown above the junction of the necks. An orb bearing the city's arms is affixed to the breast of the eagle at centre. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, reading LEOPOLDVS D G and continuing with the imperial titles, as visible on the coin's circumference. The design follows the standard Imperial eagle typology employed on city ducats struck under the authority of Emperor Leopold I. |
