| Obverse description | A Silesian eagle displayed with wings spread occupies the entire field, rendered in the late Baroque heraldic style typical of small Silesian hammered coinage. The eagle faces to the viewer's right with an open beak and displays elaborate feather detailing on its spread wings. No peripheral legend is present on this side, the design filling the flan to its edges. The coin's small module and hammered fabric result in a somewhat irregular flan, characteristic of emergency or low-denomination issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crowned quartered shield bearing the arms of the Duchy of Liegnitz-Brieg: the dexter half shows the Piast eagle of Liegnitz, while the sinister half bears the chequered field of Brieg. A ducal crown surmounts the shield, flanked by small rosette or star ornaments in the upper field. The date 1673 is inscribed in the lower portion of the field, partially spanning below the shield. The overall composition is compact and typical of the small-module Dreier denomination issued under the regency of Duchess Luise von Anhalt. |
