| Obverse description | Full-length facing figure of Saint Peter, the patron saint of Mainz, depicted in episcopal vestments with a slight turn to the right, holding a large cross-key in his left hand and a fleur-de-lis sceptre in his right. A nimbus surrounds the saint's bearded head. The Nassau shield of arms is displayed at the base of the figure in the lower field. A Gothic legend in Latin runs around the periphery within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The arms of Mainz — a silver wheel on red — displayed centrally within a cusped quatrefoil frame. In each of the four cusped tips surrounding the central shield are placed the arms of the four Rhenish Electoral princes: Cologne (upper left), Trier (upper right), Bavaria-Pfalz (lower left), and Nassau (lower right), reflecting the electoral college composition of the period. A Latin legend encircles the design within a beaded border. |
