| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the ram — civic arms of Schaffhausen — depicted in mid-leap to the left, springing through an arched city gate rendered in architectural detail, over three mounts in base. The composition conveys the heraldic vitality characteristic of early 17th-century Swiss cantonal coinage. The circular legend surrounds the inner beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed within a beaded inner circle, its wings spread and bearing an ornamented shield on the breast. The date appears in the exergue below a horizontal line dividing the field from the lower margin. The encircling legend runs continuously around the beaded border, reflecting the city's allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire. |
