| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the shield of Uri featuring a facing auroch's head in relief occupies the central field. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle, separated by dots, reading the mint authority abbreviation and date. The overall design is characteristic of early 17th-century Swiss cantonal coinage, with a somewhat irregular strike typical of hammered copper issues. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a bold anchor cross with splayed arms is depicted in the central field, with small pellets in each quadrant. The surrounding legend, separated by dots and a small floral or cross stop, carries the religious motto SOLI DEO GLORIA. The composition reflects the Protestant Reformed tradition prevalent in the Swiss cantons during the early 17th century. |
