Obverse description Within a beaded inner circle, the crowned imperial eagle displayed with head turned to the left and wings fully spread, rendered in the late medieval hammered style. The eagle is set against a plain field and enclosed within an elaborately decorated outer border featuring scrolling foliate and floral ornaments. The abbreviated mint legend appears in the outer margin.

Reverse description A plain Greek cross with broad, slightly splayed arms occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, following the classic Tournois type derived from the French gros tournois. Two concentric Latin legends encircle the cross, the inner legend naming the coin type and the outer legend providing the religious invocation, separated by a beaded border. The overall design reflects the widespread imitation of Tournois coinage common among German imperial cities.
