| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Gothic letter G rendered in ornate late-medieval style, enclosed within a decorative polylobe (multi-lobed frame). The design is surrounded by a beaded inner border, with a legend running along the outer rim in Gothic lettering. The overall composition is characteristic of late 15th-century German municipal coinage, with the city's initial serving as the primary heraldic device. |

| Reverse description | A large Gothic letter G surmounts a cross pattée, the arms of which broaden toward their extremities, centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle. A circular legend in Gothic script runs between the inner beaded border and the outer rim of the coin. The design reflects the civic pride and municipal authority of the city of Göttingen, typical of late medieval Lower Saxon hammered coinage. |
