| Obverse description | Double-headed eagle displayed, surmounted by a crown that divides the encircling Latin legend. A small shield appears in the lower field, dividing the date in the exergue. The eagle's wings are spread and the design is rendered in the bold, provincial style typical of early seventeenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Saint Martin, depicted with a sword and crozier, enclosed within a linear inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend names the patron saint, and on certain die varieties the word SANCTUS is abbreviated using the numeral-like superscript abbreviation symbol '9', a common medieval and early modern Latin scribal contraction for '-us'. |
