| Obverse description | Rampant lion facing left within a plain inner circle, the beast depicted with a crowned head, raised forepaw grasping an upright sword, and a boldly rendered tail curving over its back. The figure occupies the full field in a vigorous, somewhat archaic style characteristic of late seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. No peripheral legend is present, the design being confined within a beaded or plain border. |

| Reverse description | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads crowned and wings spread, filling the coin's field to the border. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic style of Holy Roman Empire municipal issues, with the spread wings reaching to the rim. A small legend or date appears around the periphery within a beaded border, referencing the city's imperial privileges. |
