| Obverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed with spread wings, surmounted by a single imperial crown, bearing on its breast an escutcheon with the arms of Lübeck. 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. |
