| Obverse description | The undivided city arms of Buchhorn depicted in the field, consisting of a stylized tree with visible roots at the base and a curved horn or drinking vessel to the right, rendered in low relief. The entire design is enclosed within a prominent beaded border encircling the coin's periphery. No legend or inscription appears on this face. The overall execution is characteristic of small German municipal copper coinage of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. |

| Reverse description | A variant depiction of the city arms featuring a differently rendered tree with more granulated or clustered foliage, accompanied by a curved horn to the right, all set within a plain inner circle and enclosed by a milled or reeded outer border. The rendering of the tree and border treatment distinguishes this die variant from the standard type. The field is otherwise unadorned, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The execution reflects the primitive engraving style typical of minor German States copper issues of circa 1700. |
