The eagle's talons are visible at the base, flanked by the mint-master's initials H.D. and F. in the lower field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, invoking the title of Holy Roman Emperor Franz II.

Reverse description Central Latin inscription arranged in multiple lines across the field, with the date 1801 divided by the legend. A small shield bearing the arms of mayor Hermann Georg Bünekau appears below the inscription, serving as a civic authority mark. The overall design is austere and typographic, characteristic of late Holy Roman Empire municipal gold coinage.
