| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Breisach — a stylised fleur-de-lis or budded cross motif — displayed within an ornate cartouche of scrolling strapwork, the date appearing above the shield within the inner field. The design is enclosed by a beaded inner border, with the circular Latin legend running between the border and the coin's outer rim. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A heraldic imperial eagle with wings displayed, head turned to the left, rendered in bold relief within a beaded inner border. The eagle's talons grasp a sceptre-like device at the base of the field. The circumferential Latin legend, separated by mullet stops, runs between the beaded border and the outer rim, serving as a civic and devotional inscription. |

Breisach's guldiners of this period were struck during some of the most turbulent decades in Upper Rhine politics, as the city navigated competing pressures from the Habsburgs — who had formally taken control of the city in 1198 and retained it as a strategically vital Rhine crossing — and the mounting disruptions of the Reformation sweeping through neighboring territories. The guldiner itself as a denomination had been pioneered in the Tyrol in the 1480s, and by the mid-sixteenth century municipal mints like Breisach were adapting the large silver format to local civic and commercial needs.
The Davenport reference SG#8971 places this squarely within the south German city coinage tradition rather than the imperial series.
