| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned shield of Zug, divided horizontally with the upper half plain and the lower half bearing a horizontal bar, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The canton's initials V Z G appear within or immediately around the shield. The surrounding legend reads *MON NOVA TVGIENSIS with the date 1622 incorporated into the circular inscription in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | A bold plain cross occupies the central field, its arms extending nearly to a beaded inner circle that separates the central device from the surrounding marginal legend. The cross is rendered in a simple, unadorned style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads *CVM HIS QVIOD PACE ERAM P, distributed evenly around the beaded border. |
