| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned municipal arms of Werne within a lobed or cartouche-shaped inner border, surrounded by a beaded or rope circle. The circumferential legend reads STADT * WERNE * 1602 *, with the date incorporated into the outer inscription. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage, with a somewhat crude hammered execution. |

The reverse is devoid of a circumferential legend, with the value numeral serving as the sole textual element. |
