| Obverse description | Central view of the city of Colmar rendered in perspective, with the city name COLLMAR displayed on a banner above the cityscape. An angel's head appears at the top of the design, while two heraldic shields are positioned in the lower field flanking the city view. The legend encircles the design, incorporating the date 1666, and the overall composition is characteristic of the civic pride expressed on late 17th-century imperial free city coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the field, with both heads surmounted by a single imperial crown, wings spread broadly, and the breast bearing the imperial orb. The eagle is rendered in bold relief in the style typical of Holy Roman Empire coinage of the mid-to-late 17th century. The circular Latin legend naming Emperor Leopold I runs along the full periphery of the coin, contained within a beaded or milled border. |
