| Obverse description | Central field displays the elaborate helmeted arms of the Lordship of Jever, featuring a crowned lion passant within an ornate cartouche surmounted by a plumed helm with decorative mantling. The date 15-61 is divided by the shield on either side. A circumferential Latin legend in Roman capitals runs along the beaded inner border, recording the titles of the lady ruler Maria of Jever. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts the biblical scene of the prophet Daniel in the lions' den, rendered in bold relief: Daniel kneels in prayer at left while multiple lions surround him, and a haloed angel descends from above bearing divine protection. The composition fills the field in a lively, late-Renaissance hammered style. A circumferential Low German legend in Gothic-influenced Roman capitals encircles the scene within a beaded border, reading as a pious profession of faith. |
