| Obverse description | Central cartouche displaying the raven's head — the civic arms of Freiburg im Breisgau — flanked by the divided date, with the numeral '2' positioned above and the denomination mark 'K' below the escutcheon. The surrounding circular legend reads MON NO FRIBVRGEN BRIS, identifying this as a new coinage of Freiburg im Breisgau. The design is executed in the baroque style typical of early 18th-century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | A displayed imperial eagle with wings spread, head turned to the left, occupying the central field of the coin. The eagle, serving as a symbol of imperial authority under which the city held its privileges, is rendered in the heraldic style characteristic of Holy Roman Empire municipal coinage. The surrounding circular legend DA PACEM DOMINE IN DIE encircles the eagle, invoking a plea for divine peace, a common motif on German civic coins of the period. |
