| Obverse description | A double-headed eagle displayed with wings spread, each head facing outward, surmounted by a single imperial crown. The eagle bears on its breast a vertically striated escutcheon representing the arms of Lübeck. The talons rest upon crossed olive branches. The design is rendered in high relief against a plain field, consistent with the neoclassical engraving style of late 18th-century German minting. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination and issuing authority in five lines of bold Roman capital lettering across the plain field: the numeral 'I' at center top flanked by two pellets, followed by 'SCHILLING', 'LÜBISCH', the date '1789', and the mintmaster's initials 'H.D.F.' at the base. The stark, unadorned typographic layout is characteristic of late 18th-century North German pattern coinage intended to demonstrate die quality. |
