| Obverse description | Full-length armoured effigy of Archduke Ferdinand II standing facing, both hands resting on his hips, depicted in elaborate plate armour with period detail. The figure is contained within a beaded or braided inner circle, with the encircling legend in Latin occupying the outer field. The portrait conveys the formal Imperial style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Habsburg coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned composite coat of arms featuring the quartered Habsburg dynastic shield with the arms of Carinthia prominently displayed at center. The shield is encircled by the collar and pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a distinction reserved for Habsburg sovereigns. The reverse bears no date, consistent with the undated issue series struck at Klagenfurt during Ferdinand's tenure as Archduke. The legend in Latin appears in the outer field surrounding the armorial composition. |
