| Obverse description | Central coat of arms of Zürich comprising a crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed on a shield, flanked by a rampant lion to the left and a rampant griffin to the right as heraldic supporters. Below the central shield, two overlapping ornate cartouches bear the bipartite diagonal arms of the city of Zürich. The date 1559 appears in the lower field. A beaded inner border frames the circular Latin legend MON·NO·THVRICENSIS·CIVITATIS·IMPERIALIS, reading clockwise around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of Zürich (a diagonal division of azure and argent) surrounded by eight heraldic shields arranged radially, each displaying the arms of one of the Swiss Confederate cantons, separated by decorative foliate divisions. The composition forms a wheel-like pattern with the Zürich shield at the hub, reflecting the city's role within the Swiss Confederation. A beaded inner border frames the outer legend. The overall design is rendered in high relief consistent with the medallic production style of Hans Jakob Stampfer. |
