| Obverse description | Central device depicts the arms of Hamburg: a three-towered brick castle with an arched gateway set in the lower portion, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the masonry. Above the battlements appear three ornamental charges — a six-pointed star to the left, a Maltese cross at center, and a smaller six-pointed star to the right. The composition fills the field with no encircling legend, presenting the civic arms in a bold, unadorned style typical of mid-19th century German state coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and issuing authority are inscribed in four lines across the plain field: the numeral '1' at the top flanked by two small floral ornaments, followed by 'SCHILLING' in large bold letters, then 'HAMB.COUR.' on the third line, and the date '1846' at the base. The inscription-only design, devoid of portraiture or additional devices, is characteristic of Hamburg's utilitarian coinage of the period. The lettering is deeply struck in a serif Roman typeface with clear, well-spaced characters. |
