| Obverse description | Facing bust of Saint Peter, patron saint of Trier, depicted enthroned and shown frontally within an ornate Gothic architectural canopy or nimbus. The saint is shown wearing episcopal vestments, holding a key in one hand and a book or cross-staff in the other. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of late medieval Rhenish ecclesiastical coinage. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the central device, separated from the inner field by a beaded border. The overall composition is characteristic of the Albus coinage struck in the name of the Archbishops of Trier. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a heraldic escutcheon displaying the quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Trier — a cross on the principal shield — flanked by two smaller shields bearing the arms of the chapter's associated territories, including the wheel of Mainz to the left and the lozengy arms of Bavaria to the right, with a further shield below displaying a lion. The composite armorial arrangement is presented within a Gothic decorative framework. A circular Latin monetary legend runs around the periphery, separated from the central design by a beaded border. The reverse is typical of the Albus or Weißpfennig denomination issued by the Archbishops of Trier during the early fifteenth century. |
