| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Ulrich of Pomerania facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and episcopal vestments with decorative detailing. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. The bust is set within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend distributed around the periphery of the field. The date 1622 appears integrated within the legend at the upper portion of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a ten-line Latin memorial inscription in bold capital letters, commemorating the death of Bishop Ulrich. A decorative ornamental device with a cross motif appears at the top of the field above the text. The inscription records his birth on 12 August 1589 and his death on 31 October 1622, and identifies this piece as a publicly issued funeral memorial coin. The lettering is executed in a monumental style filling the field to the inner beaded border, with punctuation marks and abbreviation stops separating the words throughout. |
