The surrounding area is adorned with an elaborate Gothic floral and foliate ornamental border of alternating lobed and circular decorative elements. The abbreviated Latin legend MONETA. NOVA. CIV(ITA). runs between the beaded circle and the ornamental outer border, referencing the issuing city. The overall design is characteristic of early sixteenth-century German hammered silver coinage.
