Obverse description Facing crowned bull's head in high relief, depicted en face with prominent horns curving outward to either side, set within a beaded inner circle. The crown is rendered in a simple medieval style above the forehead, with a small ornamental device visible at the top of the head. The surrounding field carries the circular legend in uncial Latin characters.

Reverse description A cross pattée occupying the full inner field, dividing the space into four equal quarters, with a six-pointed star (hexagram) centered at the crossing point within a beaded inner circle. The arms of the cross extend to the inner circle, and the design is boldly struck in the hammered style typical of late 14th-century North German municipal coinage. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin characters reads the city name in the genitive form.
