| Obverse description | The city arms of Stralsund depicted as two crossed gryphon claws beneath a royal crown, all set within the open field. A small cross pattée appears at the top center, serving as a divider between the two halves of the date, with '17' to the left and '63' to the right. The design is rendered in a bold, simple style typical of small German municipal coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. No peripheral legend is present, the date elements flanking the cross functioning as the sole inscription. |

| Reverse description | A five-line central inscription in capital letters occupies the entire field, reading the denomination and mintmaster's initials. Stars flank the numeral '1' at the top line, followed by 'SECHS', 'LING', 'S·S·M·', and 'LDS' on successive lines, the abbreviations identifying the issuing city and mint authority. The lettering is bold and well-spaced, characteristic of northern German billon coinage of the period. No border legend or additional decorative elements are present beyond the flanking stars on the uppermost line. |
