| Obverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with both heads facing outward to left and right, executed in Gothic hammered style. The eagle's wings are spread and detailed with feather work rendered in low relief. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend running between the inner and outer borders. The overall composition reflects the civic heraldic tradition of the Frisian city of Bolsward. |

| Reverse description | An elongated long cross with decorative terminals extends to the inner circle, dividing the surrounding legend into four sections. At the center of the cross is the letter B, identifying the mint city of Bolsward. The cross is embellished with lozenge-shaped ornaments at its intersection, characteristic of late medieval Frisian civic coinage. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the legend occupying the outer annulus between the two borders. |
