| Obverse description | Panoramic cityscape of Lübeck dominates the central field, featuring the iconic Holstentor gate and adjoining city wall in the foreground, with closely packed gabled townhouses rising behind. The distinctive twin towers of the Marienkirche and the spire of the Petrikirche are visible against the skyline, rendered in fine relief. The circumferential Latin legend is divided across the upper and lower periphery, commemorating the city's 800th anniversary. |

| Reverse description | A bold six-pointed cross with elegantly curved arms occupies the full field, with stylised fleur-de-lis lilies rendered in high relief filling each of the six angles between the arms. At the centre, within a hexagonal cartouche, the Roman numeral X appears above the inscription DUCAT. The fineness mark 980 is placed at the base of the cross. The circumferential Latin legend encircles the entire design, reading AVORUM NON MORITURA VIRTUS to the upper field and AUREUS MAGNUS to the lower, separated by small rosette ornaments. |
