| Obverse description | Central field features a heraldic eagle displayed with wings spread, encompassing a quartered shield bearing the arms of Cleves. The eagle's head is turned to the right, rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of Rhenish coinage of the period. A beaded inner border frames the central device, with a circular Latin legend running along the outer periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a complex arrangement of interlocking Gothic letters forming a monogram or cipher in the center of the field, composed of crosses and stylized letterforms typical of late medieval Lower Rhenish mint practice. A beaded inner border separates the central device from the surrounding Latin legend, which is divided into sections by stops or crosses. The overall design reflects the distinctive late Gothic engraving style of the Cleves mint circa 1503. |
