| Obverse description | A swan displayed to the left, its neck gracefully curved, holding with its beak or wing a shield bearing the quartered arms of Cleves in the central field. The heraldic shield is rendered in Gothic style with visible cross and charge devices. A circular Gothic legend surrounds the central device, containing the titles of Duke Johann II of Cleves, separated by rosette or cross stops. The coin exhibits the characteristic irregular flan and uneven strike typical of early sixteenth-century hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A swan displayed to the left, analogous in pose to the obverse type, holding a shield bearing the quartered arms of the County of Mark. The surrounding Gothic legend incorporates the mint name and the date 1508, punctuated by stops. The reverse field shows the typical flat, slightly off-center strike of hammered silver from this period, with the legend partially weak at the flan edge. The Mark arms on the shield display the characteristic chequered pattern associated with the comital house. |
