| Obverse description | The city arms of Ulm depicted centrally within the field, featuring the characteristic shield with notched or indented sides, surmounted by an imperial crown rendered in crosshatched relief. The lower portion of the shield displays two curved volutes or scrollwork elements at the base. The entire design is enclosed within a raised beaded border encircling the coin's periphery. No legend or inscription appears; the type relies solely on the heraldic device as the sole identifying element. The strike is typical of early seventeenth-century hammered copper coinage, with moderate relief and some surface irregularity. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unadorned copper surface devoid of any design, legend, or inscription. The flan shows the characteristic uneven texture consistent with hammered copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. A faint beaded rim impression may be discernible at the periphery on well-struck examples, though the field itself carries no intentional design elements. This uniface character—with all devices confined to the obverse—is a deliberate feature of this Heller type issued by the City of Ulm during the period 1620–1621. |
