| Obverse description | Central field features the arms of Erfurt — a six-spoked wheel set within a circular frame — displayed on an ornately decorated shield with scrolling foliate mantling to either side. The shield is surmounted by a crown or ornamental crest above. The overall composition reflects the early Baroque heraldic style typical of German Kipper-period municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Four-line inscription in bold Latin characters occupying the entire field, reading the denomination and date. The numeral '12' appears in the upper portion flanked by small rosette or star ornaments, followed by 'PFENNI' on the second line, 'GE' on the third line with a small floral ornament to the right, and the date '1622' on the fourth line. The layout is characteristic of Kipper-period emergency coinage with large, bold lettering filling the flan. |
