| Obverse description | Three small ornate heraldic shields arranged one above two, with the date divided by the uppermost shield and the mintmaster's initials placed at the bottom of the composition. The shields display the arms of Electoral Saxony and are set within an elaborate foliate and scrollwork surround typical of early seventeenth-century German provincial coinage. |

| Reverse description | Imperial orb (Reichsapfel) displayed within an ornately decorated cartouche or frame, featuring scrolling foliate ornament around its perimeter. The orb, comprising a globe surmounted by a cross and bisected by a horizontal band, serves as the principal device and denotes the coin's value as a fraction of the Thaler. The overall design is characteristic of the small silver coinage of the Holy Roman Empire in the early seventeenth century. |
