Obverse description Countermark of the City of Anklam applied over a crowned quartered heraldic shield bearing multiple coats of arms. The countermark, depicting the city arms, is struck centrally upon the host coin's obverse. A partial Latin legend is visible in the surrounding field, interrupted by the irregular flan edge. The overall design reflects early 17th-century German municipal coinage practice, with the countermark asserting local monetary authority over a pre-existing coin.

Reverse description Crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the field, with spread wings and a orb or imperial orb on the breast, consistent with Holy Roman Empire iconography of the early 17th century. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, reading partially FERDINAN·D·G·RO·IMP·(or similar), referencing Emperor Ferdinand II. The date appears within the legend. A beaded inner circle frames the central device, with a toothed border at the rim.
