| Obverse description | Central field depicts the bear of St. Gallen passant, facing right, rendered in relief with stylized mane and claws. The denomination numeral '4' appears to the left of the bear and the abbreviation 'K' to its right. The date '1714' is inscribed in the lower portion of the field, flanked by the mintmaster's initial 'H'. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, reading 'MO:NOVA:S:GALLENS', separated by a horizontal bar dividing the design. The coin is struck within a toothed or milled border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ornate double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in a baroque style. A small orb or crown device appears at the top between the two heads. The surrounding legend reads 'SOLI DEO GLORIA', a Protestant devotional motto meaning 'Glory to God alone', distributed around the field. The design fills the entire coin face with the eagle's body occupying the central field. The toothed border frames the composition on the periphery. |
