| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large ornate letter 'C' in Gothic style, enclosing a cross patée, the whole serving as the electoral cypher of Archbishop Frederick Charles Joseph von Erthal. The design is rendered in low relief on a worn flan, with traces of a beaded or plain border surrounding the central device. The overall style is typical of late 18th-century German ecclesiastical minor coinage. |

| Reverse description | Denomination expressed in four lines across the field, reading '48 / EINEN / THALER / L.M.' with the date '17 84' below and the mintmaster initial 'C' at the bottom. The large numeral '48' is prominently displayed at the top, denoting the coin's value as one forty-eighth of a Thaler. The lettering is bold and clear, characteristic of the utilitarian style of small-denomination coins of the Mainz archbishopric. |
