| Obverse description | The city arms of Kaufbeuren displayed within an ornate oval cartouche, featuring a halved eagle and a diagonal bend, flanked by a six-pointed star; the shield is surmounted by decorative foliate elements and supported by an elaborate baroque frame. The date 1547 appears within the inner field alongside the inner legend. Two concentric Latin legends encircle the design: an inner legend identifying the coinage authority and an outer devotional legend, all separated by a rope-pattern border at the coin's edge. |

| Reverse description | A crowned and armored half-length effigy of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V facing right, depicted in three-quarter military dress with a scepter borne over his right shoulder. The imperial portrait is rendered in the robust Renaissance style characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century German coinage. Two concentric Latin legends surround the central figure: an inner legend identifying the emperor by name and title, and an outer legend bearing a Scriptural reference to rendering unto Caesar, all enclosed within a rope-pattern rim. |
