| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg occupies the central field, depicting a crenellated white castle with three towers on a red shield, surmounted by an elaborate crest of peacock feathers above a helmet. Two rampant lions serve as heraldic supporters flanking the shield on either side, each turned inward to face the arms. Decorative scrollwork and acanthus mantling fill the lower field beneath the shield. The circular legend FREIE UND HANSESTADT HAMBURG arcs around the upper periphery, and the Hamburg mint mark J appears at the bottom of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The Imperial German eagle, displayed with wings spread and head turned to the right, dominates the central field, surmounted by a crown of the German Empire above its head. On the eagle's breast is a shield bearing the Hohenzollern quartered arms. Decorative laurel and oak branches, tied with an Order of the Black Eagle ribbon, extend from beneath the eagle's wings across the lower field. The legend DEUTSCHES REICH arcs around the upper periphery with the date 1903 incorporated to the right, while the denomination ZWEI MARK curves along the lower border, all flanked by six-pointed stars. A beaded border frames the entire composition. |
