| Obverse description | Full-length facing figure of St. Peter, the patron saint of Trier, depicted in ecclesiastical robes and standing within the field, holding a key in his right hand and a book in his left. The Archbishop's titles encircle the figure as the peripheral legend. The design is characteristic of late 16th-century German ecclesiastical coinage, with the saint rendered in a formal, hieratic style. |

| Reverse description | Quartered shield displaying the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier impaled with the personal arms of the Schönenberg family, dividing the last two digits of the date 90 on either side. A sword and a crozier are crossed saltire-wise behind the shield, symbolising temporal and spiritual authority, with a mitre displayed above. The full date 1590 is split by the shield, and the mint legend running around the periphery identifies the coin as a new silver money struck at Koblenz (Confluentia). |
