The obverse has a picture of a man with a pointed beard and moustache wearing a jacket with voluminous sleeves which are gathered close on the forearms (the 'Rechenmeister' or accounting master). He is working at a board which is marked with a grid on one side and which has a number of spots on the other side, presumably representing tokens on a counting board. The reverse has a border of curlicues with the alphabet in lines in the centre 'ABCD / EFGHIK / LMNOPQ / RSTVW / XYZ'.Diameter 27.2mm, thickness 0.7mm, weight 3.34g
