| Obverse description | Central crowned oval shield bearing the impaled arms of Würzburg: the Franconian rake (three silver diagonal stripes on red) dexter and the pontifical key of Saint Kilian sinister, all set within an elaborate baroque foliate frame. The shield is surmounted by a bishop's crown with a cross finial at its apex. The entire composition is flanked by symmetrical branches in high relief against a plain field. The coin's milled border runs along the entire periphery. |

| Reverse description | Four-line inscription in bold upright Roman lettering occupying the entire field, reading I / LEICHTER / KREUTZER / (date), with the numeral I at the top centre flanked by floral rosette ornaments, and additional rosette stops framing the date at the bottom. The legends are well-spaced and separated by rows of decorative six-petalled rosettes, imparting a formal, typographic character to the design. The milled edge border frames the composition on the reverse as on the obverse. |
