| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the imperial arms, displayed within an ornate Gothic trefoil or quatrefoil frame with cusped lobes. The shield is rendered in a bold late-medieval heraldic style and occupies the majority of the coin's field. A circular legend in Gothic uncial lettering runs along the beaded inner border, with cross stops separating the inscription elements. The overall design reflects the hammered coinage conventions of the late 15th-century Holy Roman Empire. |

| Reverse description | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed facing, with both heads turned to the left and wings fully spread, rendered in the vigorous late-Gothic style characteristic of Maximilian I's coinage. The eagle's feathering is depicted with fine engraved detail on each wing, with talons extended below. A circular legend in Gothic uncial lettering surrounds the eagle within the beaded border, punctuated by cross stops. The composition fills the irregular flan and is typical of hammered silver issues of the period. |
