| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a single-headed eagle displayed occupies the central field, facing left with wings spread. The eagle is rendered in a simple, archaic style consistent with early 18th-century municipal coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery reading MON • FRIBVR • K • BRISG •, denoting the new coinage of Freiburg im Breisgau, with the date 1712 and the denomination mark *1* incorporated into the legend. The overall design reflects the civic heraldic tradition of the Free Imperial City of Freiburg. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the crowned civic arms of Freiburg im Breisgau at centre, comprising a quartered shield with a cross, surmounted by an ornate crown and flanked by decorative scrollwork typical of baroque municipal heraldry. The shield is set within the field against a plain background. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design within a beaded border reading GLORIA • IN EXCEL • DEO, the devotional motto meaning 'Glory to God in the highest.' The composition is characteristic of small-denomination city coinage of the early 18th century in the Upper Rhine region. |
