| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned figure of St. Paul the Apostle, depicted in high medieval style with nimbus, holding a book in his left hand and raising his right hand in benediction. The saint is seated between two architectural columns or tower-like elements, his robes rendered in stylized drapery. The shield of the arms of Münster — featuring horizontal bars — appears below the throne. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the legend running along the outer periphery in Gothic uncial characters. |

| Reverse description | Central composition featuring three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil pattern: the arms of Münster (barry field), the arms of the County of Schwarzburg, and the arms of the Diocese of Bremen, all surrounding a central episcopal or monogram device. The shields are rendered in fine hammered relief typical of late 15th-century Rhenish goldgulden coinage. A beaded inner circle encloses the design, with the monetary legend in Gothic uncial script running along the outer border between decorative stops. |
