Obverse description The upper register carries the bold Gothic-script legend 'Stadt Goslar am Harz' within a ruled border. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms — a black eagle on a teal-blue shield surmounted by a crenellated city wall — flanked by two nude male figures in a classical atlas pose, with stylised Harz fir trees filling the outer lateral panels. The lower panel, printed on a stippled ground, bears in Gothic script the redemption text, the place and date of issue, and the facsimile signatures of the Magistrat and the official 'Klinge'.

Reverse description The left two-thirds of the reverse carry the denomination in large, ornate Gothic blackletter script reading 'Zehn Pfennig', below which a four-line verse in Low German (Goslar dialect) is set in a smaller Gothic typeface against a mottled olive-grey ground. The right panel is occupied by a woodcut-style vignette of a draped male figure — identifiable as the legendary 'Männecken' — leaning against a rocky surface, rendered in dark intaglio-style cross-hatching.
