| Obverse description | Half-length frontal bust of Archbishop Friedrich III of Saarwerden within a Gothic arch, flanked by dolphins in the spandrels; two heraldic coats-of-arms displayed above the arch. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic late medieval Gothic style, with fine drapery detail. A circular Latin legend runs along the coin's periphery within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne — a shield bearing a cross with vertical bars, characteristic of the Cologne ecclesiastical blazon — displayed prominently at center within a cusped sexfoil frame. The shield is rendered in high relief with bold Gothic styling. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device within a beaded border, the whole composition typical of Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. |
