| Obverse description | The obverse features the heraldic castle of Hamburg, the city's traditional coat of arms, depicted as a three-towered fortified gate with a central arched portcullis rendered in a simplified, low-relief style. The two flanking towers and the taller central tower are shown with crenellated parapets and rusticated stonework. Three six-pointed stars are positioned above the towers, one above each, serving as a traditional element of the Hamburg arms. The design occupies the full field with no surrounding legend, presenting a clean and unadorned civic emblem characteristic of mid-19th century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination numeral 'I' prominently at the top of the field, flanked on either side by a small six-pointed star. Immediately below, in bold capital letters, appears the denomination name 'SECHSLING', and beneath that the date '1851.' with a terminal period. The legend is arranged in three horizontal lines across the plain field, with no border legend or additional ornamentation, reflecting the austere typographic style typical of small Hamburg billon issues of the period. |
