| Obverse description | Central device depicting two crossed flags, each bearing heraldic devices including wreath and eagle motifs, flanking a decorated pedestal surmounted by a flaming urn or torch, rendered in high relief. Additional crossed bows and floral garlands are displayed at the base of the pedestal, with the mintmaster's initials 'BK' inscribed in the exergue line below. The circular Latin legend reads 'REDEVNT ANTIQVI GAVDIA MORIS' (meaning 'the joys of ancient custom return'), arranged around the upper periphery within a milled border. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a nine-line Latin commemorative inscription in Roman capital letters, celebrating the bicentennial shooting festival of the Regensburg marksmen (Sagittarii) held in 1788 in memory of the solemnities originally performed in 1586, carried out by the grace of the fathers of the fatherland. The text reads 'SOLEMNIVM / A. MDLXXXVI. / PER ACTORVM / MEMORIAM / PATRVM PATRIAE / INDVLGENTIA / CELEBRANT / SAGITTARII RATISB. / A. MDCCLXXXVIII.' A small decorative flourish appears below the final line, all enclosed within a plain field and milled border. |
