| Obverse description | The central device features the Deventer civic coat of arms — a shield bearing an eagle — surmounted by an elaborate ornate helmet with foliate mantling spreading symmetrically into the surrounding field. The heraldic composition is rendered in the typical early 17th-century German-Dutch decorative style, with bold relief and intricate detail in the cresting. The circular legend surrounds the entire device, inscribed in Latin along the coin's periphery. The overall design reflects the civic pride and municipal authority of the free imperial city. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread, each head bearing a distinct crown and the two crowns surmounted by a large central imperial crown. A globus cruciger is placed on the eagle's breast, dividing the circular Latin legend. The legend references Emperor Matthias, King of Hungary and Bohemia, asserting imperial authority over the coin's issuance. The bold hammered relief is characteristic of early 17th-century Holy Roman Empire coinage. |
