| Obverse description | The Frankfurt civic eagle displayed with wings spread, the crowned head turned to the left, rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The eagle's breast is covered in a crosshatched scale pattern and its talons grip an elaborate foliate ornament. A circular legend in Latin script runs around the periphery, reading 'BERATHUNG Ü. GRÜNDUNG E. DEUTSCHEN PARLAMENTS 31 MÄRZ 1848', commemorating the deliberations on the founding of a German parliament on 31 March 1848. The legend begins at the lower left and continues clockwise around the coin. |

| Reverse description | A bold three-line denomination inscription reading '2 / GULDEN / 1848' is centered within a broad, finely engraved wreath of oak leaves and acorns, tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow. The wreath is rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail, and the plain inner field provides a stark, elegant contrast to the surrounding foliage. No additional legend or mint mark appears on the reverse. |
