| Obverse description | Central field features the plain heraldic shield of the Free City of Bremen, bearing a diagonally placed key — the traditional civic emblem — rendered in relief against a plain ground. The shield is unadorned and presented without supporters. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, incorporating the mint date, with a beaded inner border separating the central device from the inscription. The overall design is characteristic of the restrained civic coinage style of eighteenth-century German free cities. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a crowned double-headed Imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread, as the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. On the breast of the eagle, a circular shield or orb bears the denomination numeral. A circular Latin legend surrounding the eagle reads the titulature of Emperor Charles VII, invoking his style as Roman Emperor Ever August. The design reflects Bremen's status as a Freie Reichsstadt — a Free Imperial City — subject directly to the Emperor, and the imagery conforms to standard Imperial coinage conventions of the period. |
