| Obverse description | Hamburg city arms depicted as a three-towered castle gateway, rendered in a crude but characteristic medieval style. The central tower rises above the flanking turrets, each surmounted by a small battlement. The gate arch is shown open, with a portcullis motif in the field below the central tower. No legend surrounds the device, the design filling the flan within a plain inner border. |

| Reverse description | The initials 'I·S' are boldly struck in the center of the field, separated by a raised horizontal bar above and below, forming a panel-like arrangement. A small fleur-de-lys or rosette ornament appears below the lower bar in the field. The design is simple and unadorned, with no surrounding legend, set within a beaded or rope border following the coin's edge. |
