| Obverse description | Central field displays two conjoined heraldic shields: the dexter shield bearing a cross (the imperial symbol granted to the city), and the sinister shield displaying an upraised hand (the traditional arms of Schwäbisch Hall), the whole surmounted by a decorative foliate ornament. The date 1545 appears above the shields within the inner circle, and the mint initial 'H' is placed below. The circumferential Latin legend reads MONE. NOVA. REIPVB. HALE. SVEVICE., separated by rosette stops, within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A large, finely detailed double-headed Imperial eagle displayed in the field, its two heads crowned by a single imperial crown above, with wings spread and elaborately rendered feathering. On the eagle's breast is superimposed a heraldic shield bearing the Austrian arms. Elaborate foliate scrollwork adorns the lower field beneath the eagle's talons. The circumferential Latin legend CAROLVS V. D. G. ROM. IMP. SEMP. AVG. runs around the full perimeter within a beaded border, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Charles V as the imperial authority under whose aegis this coinage was issued. |
