| Obverse description | The Bundesadler (Federal Eagle), the heraldic eagle of the Federal Republic of Germany, displayed centrally in the field with wings spread and head turned to the right. The eagle is rendered in high relief with finely detailed feathering across the wings and breast, and prominent talons at the base. The design occupies nearly the full diameter of the flan and is surrounded by a continuous border of raised beads. The plain field and proof-like surface give the device a bold, sculptural presence consistent with a pattern or presentation striking. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely plain, presenting a smooth, unadorned field with no device, legend, denomination, or inscription of any kind. The flan retains a mirror-like proof surface, suggesting this piece was struck as a trial or pattern to evaluate the obverse die design. The beaded border present on the obverse does not appear to be replicated on this side. |
