| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the key of Bremen, the city's heraldic emblem, displayed upright within an ornate cartouche of scrolling acanthus mantling. The shield is set against a plain field and flanked by elaborate baroque flourishes. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading the date 1745 at the left and the mint authority inscription across the upper and right fields. The lettering is rendered in crisp Roman capitals typical of mid-eighteenth century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, each head surmounted by a small crown and the whole beneath a large imperial crown. An orb bearing the numeral denomination appears on the eagle's breast within a circular shield. The surrounding legend identifies the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII, affirming Bremen's status as a Free Imperial City (Freie Reichsstadt) within the Holy Roman Empire. The inscription runs continuously around the periphery in Roman capitals separated by stops. |
