| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the city of Stuttgart rendered in fine relief, depicting the densely built urban skyline with towers, spires, and rooftops rising toward a central church or civic tower surmounted by a figure, set against a diagonally striated background. The cityscape extends across the full field of this square klippe flan, with a river or road visible in the lower middle ground. Below the city view, the legend STUTTGARDIA appears in two lines across the lower portion of the field, divided as STULGAR- / DIA. The entire composition is framed by a beaded border following the square shape of the klippe. |

| Reverse description | A prancing horse rears on its hind legs in the center of the field, facing left, with a small foal standing beneath it to the lower left, referencing the Stuttgart civic arms and the city's name etymology. The figures are rendered in bold relief with fine detail in the mane and musculature. The circular legend WOHL GERATHENE IUGEND MACHT FREUDE runs along the outer border, split across the upper and lower portions of the square klippe, with FREU- / DE inscribed in two lines at the base of the field. A beaded inner border frames the design, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
