| Obverse description | Central field displays the Freiburg city eagle — a stylized bird of prey shown facing right with wings spread and elaborate feathered plumage rendered in high relief, flanked by the date numerals (e.g. 15-43) positioned to either side of the body. The eagle rests on a wavy, scroll-like base typical of South German Renaissance die-cutting. The entire central device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, separated by cross and star stops, reads: + MONETA * NO * FRIBVRG * IN * BRISGAV * 15 43, identifying this as a new coin of Freiburg in the Breisgau. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in the hammered style characteristic of mid-16th-century South German coinage. A small ornamental device appears at the base of the eagle between its talons. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads: + DOMINE. CONSERVA. NOS. IN. PACE — 'O Lord, preserve us in peace' — a pious motto commonly used by free imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire during this period. |
