| Obverse description | Facing enthroned figure of Saint Peter, patron saint of Trier, depicted in high relief in Gothic style, seated frontally and robed in ecclesiastical vestments with a nimbus surrounding the head. The saint holds a long patriarchal cross-staff in his left hand and a key — his traditional attribute — in his right hand, with a rose or decorative floral motif at the center of the composition. Two architectural elements, likely towers or pillars surmounted by crosses, flank the figure on either side, recalling the design conventions of Rhenish goldgulden. A beaded or toothed inner border frames the design, with the circular legend in uncial Latin lettering running around the periphery reading CVnO AREPS TREVEn, identifying Kuno as Archbishop of Trier. |

| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a pointed heraldic shield bearing the impaled arms of the Archbishopric of Trier: the dexter side displays a plain cross on a silver field (arms of Trier), while the sinister side features a scale-patterned or lozengy field associated with the personal arms of the Falkenstein family. The shield is surmounted by an archiepiscopal cross, rendered in bold Gothic relief. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the circular legend in uncial Latin letters running along the periphery reading SACRI IHPERI PR GALL A, an abbreviated form of Sacri Imperii Per Germaniam et Galliam Archicancellarius, referencing the archbishop's role as Archchancellor of the Holy Roman Empire for Gaul. |
