| Obverse description | Quartered shield of arms displayed within an ornate cartouche, the upper dexter quarter bearing a crowned lion rampant and the remaining quarters featuring horizontal barry fields associated with the Abbey of Herford, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The shield is flanked by elaborate Renaissance scrollwork and foliate mantling. The encircling Latin legend reads MON. DOMI. ET. CIVIA. HERVORD., separated by small cross stops, running along the outer rim between the beaded border and the coin's raised edge. |

| Reverse description | A large lion rampant to the left, crowned, with an elaborate mane rendered in fine relief, depicted with raised forepaw and open mouth, set within a beaded inner circle against a plain field. The surrounding Latin legend VICI. LEO. DETRIBV. IVDA. — a scriptural reference to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5) — encircles the design between the beaded border and the coin's outer rim, punctuated by small cross stops. The overall style reflects mid-sixteenth-century North German hammered coinage. |
