| Obverse description | Facing steer's head in full, rendered in a crude late-Renaissance style typical of small German municipal coinage. The bovine head, serving as the civic arms of Coesfeld, is depicted frontally with prominent horns curving upward to either side. A partial circular legend surrounds the central device in the field, reading STADT COSVEL(T), identifying the issuing city. |

| Reverse description | The Roman numeral 'I', denoting the denomination of one Pfennig, is centrally placed within a beaded or dotted ornamented circle occupying the majority of the reverse field. The design is simple and utilitarian, consistent with the minor copper coinage of small Westphalian municipalities of the late sixteenth century. The surrounding field is plain. |
