| Obverse description | Crowned double-headed eagle displayed with nimbus, rendered in the late Renaissance hammered style typical of small Swiss cantonal coinage. The eagle's wings are spread and its two heads face outward, surmounted by an imperial crown with a cross finial. The surrounding circular legend reads MO: NO: GLARON: in Latin characters, denoting the new money of Glarus. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Fridolin, patron saint of Glarus, standing erect and robed in a long flowing coat with a nimbus encircling his head. The saint holds a Bible in one hand and a pilgrim's staff or walking stick in the other, rendered in the conventional devotional style of early seventeenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. The circular legend SAN FRIDOLIN9: in Latin characters frames the figure, the numeral 9 serving as an abbreviation for the Latin suffix '-us'. |
