| Obverse description | The city arms of Stralsund — a stylized Gothic letter 'A' (representing the city's heraldic device) — displayed at center within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The peripheral legend reads AUREUS NOVUS STRALSUNDT HIH, separated by stops, running along the inner border of the beaded rim. The mintmaster's initials HIH appear in the legend above the wreath. The overall style is characteristic of late 17th-century German civic gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread and heads facing outward, bearing the Habsburg escutcheon on its breast. The date 1677 appears to the left of the eagle, flanked by stops. The surrounding legend LEOPOLDUS D G ROM I S A reads around the periphery, referencing Emperor Leopold I as Holy Roman Emperor, within a beaded border. The finely engraved eagle is rendered in the baroque style typical of imperial German coinage of the period. |
