| Obverse description | Crowned interlaced royal cypher of Count Christoph Louis II occupies the central field, rendered in an ornate cursive monogram style. The cypher, composed of the intertwined letters C and L, is surmounted by a decorative count's coronet. The design is executed in high relief against a plain, unadorned field with no peripheral legend. |

The pedestal bears the letter S on its face, likely a mint or issuer mark. The composition is compact and heraldic in character, consistent with the arms of the County of Stolberg-Stolberg. The denomination and date appear as a legend below or around the central device. |
