| Obverse description | Central field displays a large crowned imperial coat of arms featuring a quartered shield with the arms of the three issuing cities — Deventer, Kampen, and Zwolle — surmounted by an imperial crown. Below the shield, a spread eagle is visible, serving as the imperial symbol. The design is rendered in the late Gothic hammered style typical of early sixteenth-century Rhenish gold coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading the moneta nova designation of the three imperial cities. |

| Reverse description | Central field features an interlaced double-C cipher, referencing Carolus (Charles V), surmounted by a small cross above and enclosed within a stylized orb or circular device with decorative elements. The composition is characteristic of Habsburg imperial gold coinage of the period, executed in a bold hammered relief. A surrounding circular Latin legend proclaims the title of Charles V as Roman Emperor, running continuously around the periphery of the coin. |
