| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the heraldic griffin of Rostock rampant to left, wings spread and claws raised, rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance hammered style. The field is filled by the boldly struck figure, with fine feather and scale detail visible on the wings and haunches. Surrounding the central device, a Latin legend is divided by the figure and reads along the periphery within a plain outer border. |

| Reverse description | The crowned double-headed Imperial eagle displayed, with wings outspread and a shield on its breast bearing the orb of the Holy Roman Empire, struck in bold relief within a beaded inner circle. The two heads are shown in profile facing outward, each surmounted by a crown, with fine detail in the plumage rendered in the hammered technique characteristic of early seventeenth-century German gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounding the eagle attributes the coin to Emperor Rudolf II, citing his full imperial titles, set within a plain outer rim. |
