| Obverse description | Displayed imperial eagle with spread wings occupies the central field, contained within a beaded inner circle. The date appears within the surrounding circular legend. The inscription MO. NOVA. TREMONIE runs along the periphery in Gothic-influenced Latin characters, identifying this as the new coinage of Dortmund (Tremonia being the Latin name for the city). The hammered flan shows characteristic irregularity, with the eagle's plumage rendered in fine radiating lines typical of mid-16th century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Full-length facing figure of St. Reinold (Reinoldus), patron saint of Dortmund, depicted as a martyr standing in the round. The saint holds an upright sword in his right hand and a heraldic shield in his left, rendered in the flat, stylized manner characteristic of mid-16th century hammered German coinage. A nimbus or halo surrounds the saint's head, emphasizing his sacred status. The surrounding legend S. REINOLD - VS. MARTIR. identifies the figure in abbreviated Latin, running along the coin's periphery within a beaded border. |
