| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the city of Ulm depicted in fine relief, showing the skyline dominated by the towering spire of Ulm Minster (Ulmer Münster) surrounded by the rooftops, fortifications, and walls of the city, with the Danube River and bastions visible in the foreground. The legend VLMA appears in the upper field above the cityscape, while a cartouche in the lower exergue bears the inscription VLMINIS PRAESIDIO TUTISSIMA. The engraving is executed in a detailed baroque topographic style characteristic of 17th-century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central design featuring nine armorial shields arranged in a circular floral pattern around a central boss, representing the regiment commanders or civic guilds of Ulm, each shield bearing distinct heraldic charges. A winged putto or genius figure sits triumphantly atop the arrangement of shields, flanked by outstretched arms holding ribbons or laurel branches. The peripheral legend encircles the entire composition, with the date 1663 incorporated into the legend at the upper left. The overall composition reflects the baroque civic pride characteristic of imperial free city coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. |
