| Obverse description | The obverse presents an entirely typographic design with no figurative elements, displaying the inscription MÜHLHÄUSER STADTMÜNTZ arranged in three lines across the field in bold serif lettering. A six-pointed star ornament is positioned at the top of the field above the legend, and a small rosette or pellet ornament appears at the base below the date. The mint date 1767 is prominently struck in large numerals in the lower portion of the field. The plain, unadorned field and purely inscriptional composition are characteristic of minor civic coinage issued by German free imperial cities in the eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse likewise employs a purely typographic design, with the Roman numeral II displayed prominently at the top of the field, flanked on each side by small rosette ornaments. Below, the denomination legend LEICHTE PFENNINGE is arranged in two lines of bold serif lettering. A decorative scroll or flourish ornament separates the denomination text from a small lozenge-shaped ornament at the base of the field, lending the composition a modest degree of decorative formality consistent with the civic coinage tradition of eighteenth-century German free cities. |
