| Obverse description | Draped bust of Bishop Charles II of Liechtenstein facing right, set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend divided by the effigy. A small circular frame below the bust contains the fractional denomination '1/6', denoting the coin's value as one-sixth of a ducat. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous Baroque style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Central European coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned heraldic eagle displayed, facing left, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle, the crown breaking into the surrounding Latin legend. The regnal titles of Charles II as Prince of the Kingdom of Bohemia and Count appear in the circumscription, with the divided date '1671' placed at the conclusion of the legend. The bold, stylised treatment of the eagle reflects the heraldic conventions of the Bohemian ecclesiastical coinage of the period. |
