| Obverse description | Central pointed (Gothic) shield bearing the letters Z·Z over Z, representing a retrograde or stylized monogram associated with Bishop Johannes VI, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is framed by irregular wavy lines characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of the Livonian bishoprics. A Latin legend runs around the outer margin, partially legible due to the irregular flan and hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | Central pointed (Gothic) shield bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat — a crossed sword and key in saltire — set within a beaded inner circle and surrounded by wavy decorative lines. The emblems of ecclesiastical and temporal authority are rendered in the crude but characteristic style of mid-16th century Livonian hammered billon coinage. A Latin legend encircles the entire design in the outer margin. |
