Obverse description Central field dominated by a heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Livonian Order, surmounted by a master's crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend running along the coin's periphery. The die-struck design is characteristic of mid-16th century Baltic hammered coinage, with slightly irregular flan edges and uneven relief typical of the period. The last two digits of the date (60) appear integrated into the obverse legend.
Obverse script Latin

Reverse description A long cross divides the reverse into four quadrants, with the abbreviated mint legend distributed between the quadrants within a beaded inner circle. The legend reads in four abbreviated segments separated by the arms of the cross, denoting the nova moneta of Reval. The field is flat with visible flan irregularities consistent with hand-hammered production. The beaded border encircles the entire design, and the overall style reflects the standard Schilling coinage of Reval under the Livonian Order.
