| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Johann Casimir facing forward, his head dividing the motto FRIED - ERNEHRT across the upper field. Six small shields of arms are arranged around the figure, displaying the heraldic achievements of the duchy. The portrait is rendered in the elaborate early seventeenth-century German style, with detailed armor and a ruffled collar. A Latin legend runs along the outer border identifying the dual rulers by name and title. |

| Reverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Johann Ernst II facing left, occupying the central field of the coin. The date, recorded as 1625 in the example illustrated, appears within the field flanking the figure. The motto VNFRIED - VERZEHRT is divided by the portrait across the upper register, with the year visible between the two words. A continuous Latin legend encircling the border records the full ducal titulature, including references to Cleves, the Mark, Montbéliard, the Landgraviate of Thuringia, the Margraviate of Meissen, and the County of Ravensberg. |
