| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the lion of Jülich, depicted rampant, set within a Gothic trefoil frame. The shield is rendered in relief with fine hatching to indicate tinctures. Small rosettes or floral ornaments appear in the angles of the trefoil. The surrounding circular legend reads REI NA LD` DVX IVLICEN, identifying the issuer as Reinald, Duke of Jülich. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Rhenish hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the eagle of Jülich, set upon or above a floriated cross with ornamental terminals, the whole enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Small floral or rosette ornaments are placed in the quarters formed by the cross arms. The encircling legend reads MONETA NOVA IVLIENNSIS, proclaiming this a new coinage of Jülich. The style is consistent with late 14th- to early 15th-century Rhenish Weißpfennig production. |
