| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the city of Nuremberg occupying the central field, rendered in fine detail with towers, spires, and fortifications visible along the skyline. Above the cityscape, three heraldic shields are displayed — the imperial eagle, the Nuremberg arms, and a third civic shield — surmounted by a small crowned eagle. The exergue below the city view contains a chronogram legend in three lines, yielding the date 1628. The outer legend reads MONO:ARGEN:REIP:NORIMBERG around the upper periphery, with the chronogram text CANDIDA PAX REDEAT / PAX REGNET IN OR. / BE. ET. IN VRBE. inscribed in the lower field. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed with wings spread, each head surmounted by an individual crown and both crowns further surmounted by a large imperial crown. The eagle bears a central escutcheon on its breast charged with the Nuremberg city arms. An imperial orb appears above the two heads beneath the central crown. The eagle's dexter talon grasps a scepter and the sinister talon a sword, symbolizing imperial authority. The field is largely unadorned, with the design framed by a beaded border. |
