| Obverse description | Half-length facing figure of St. John the Baptist, holding the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in his arms. Below the figure, the shield of the city arms of Lübeck is prominently displayed, flanked on either side by the armorial shields of two mayors, with the date of issue appearing in the field between or adjacent to these arms. The composition is rendered in the detailed Germanic baroque style typical of early seventeenth-century civic coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with spread wings rendered in fine feather detail, the heads surmounted by a single imperial crown. At the center of the eagle's breast, a rounded orb bears the numeral '32', denoting the denomination. The surrounding circular legend names Emperor Ferdinand II in his capacity as Holy Roman Emperor. The overall design closely follows the standard imperial eagle type mandated for Reichsmünzen of the period. |
