The circular legend STADT · WISSLOCH · runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The coin's edge is milled with a fine reeded border visible around the entire circumference.

Reverse description The reverse presents a five-line Latin homage inscription enclosed within a richly detailed wreath of laurel and acanthus branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The text reads HULDIGET / CAROLO / THEODORO / D. 12 MAY / 1750, commemorating the homage rendered to Elector Charles Theodore of the Palatinate on 12 May 1750. A small decorative cartouche surmounts the wreath at the top. The composition is symmetrical and of refined baroque style, consistent with a presentation or pattern strike.
