| Obverse description | The Frankfurt imperial eagle displayed with wings spread and head turned to the left, rendered in fine detail with elaborate feathering. The eagle is uncrowned, as typical of the Frankfurt municipal coinage, and occupies the full field of the coin. The mint-master's initials appear below the eagle's talons. The circular legend surrounding the eagle reads FRANCFVRTER • STADT • MUNTZ, with a milled border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | An ornate cross with elaborate foliate and floral decorations filling the four angles, creating a highly stylised cruciform composition typical of late 17th-century German municipal coinage. The date appears at the top of the reverse field, flanking the upper arm of the cross. The surrounding circular legend, divided by the cross arms, reads NOMEN DOMINI FORTISSIMA TURRIS, a biblical motto referencing the name of the Lord as a strong tower, enclosed within a milled border. |
