| Obverse description | Central field displays the Regensburg municipal coat of arms — a diagonal band (bend) — set within an ornate cartouche. The date 1626 appears above the shield, with the circular Latin legend MONE·REIPVB·RATISPONENSIS arranged around the periphery, identifying the coin as currency of the Free Imperial City of Ratisbon (Regensburg). The overall design is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage, with bold lettering and a simple heraldic device. |

| Reverse description | A crowned imperial double-headed eagle dominates the field, its wings spread in the traditional heraldic posture associated with Holy Roman Empire coinage. A small shield on the eagle's breast bears the numeral 2, denoting the denomination of 2 Kreuzer. The circular Latin prayer legend DA . PACEM . NOBIS . DOMINE . 2 runs around the periphery, invoking divine peace — a common appeal found on contemporary German coinage during the turbulent years of the Thirty Years' War. |
