| Obverse description | Central field features the Wismar city arms — a hand or armorial charge — enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin reads MONE · NO(V) · WISMAR(I) · followed by the last two digits of the year of issue, all disposed around the periphery of this small hammered silver flan. The overall style is characteristic of late sixteenth-century north German municipal coinage, with irregular flan edges typical of the hammered technique. |

| Obverse lettering | MONE · NO(V) · WISMAR(I) · 94 |
| Reverse description | Central field displays the imperial orb divided by a cross, with the numeral 6 (denoting the denomination of six Pfennig) in the lower segment, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend in Latin abbreviates the titles of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II: RVDOL · 2 · P · F · D · HALF · S · 64. The design is executed in the plain, functional style characteristic of small-denomination hammered coinage of the period, with the date digits incorporated into the legend. |
