| Obverse description | Two adjacent heraldic shields displayed side by side, the dexter shield bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg and the sinister shield bearing the personal arms of Bishop Marquard Sebastian Schenk von Stauffenberg. A patriarchal cross and episcopal crozier are placed saltire-wise behind the shields, with a bishop's mitre or crown positioned above. A mintmark, when present, appears below the shields in the center of the field. The composition is rendered in a compact, formal heraldic style typical of late 17th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large imperial orb occupies the center of the field, its cross-topped circle enclosing the denomination numeral '84', indicating the coin's value of 1⁄84 Thaler. The date is divided to either side of the orb, with the last two digits of the year flanking the lower portion. The bishop's initials 'MS' and the mint or engraver's initials 'EB' are separated by the top of the cross above the orb, arranged symmetrically in the upper field. The design follows the standard Reichskleinod orb convention employed widely on small-denomination German coins of this period. |
