| Obverse description | Full-length armored effigy of Emperor Rudolf II standing facing, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor and an imperial crown, holding a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left. The figure stands on a small ground line within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads RUDOLPHUS II D G ROM IMP SEMP AUG GER HUN BOH REX, arranged around the periphery in Roman capital letters. The overall style is characteristic of late Renaissance hammered gold coinage produced at the Prague Mint. |

| Reverse description | Crowned quartered coat of arms of the Habsburg dominions, featuring the arms of Austria, Burgundy, Bohemia, Hungary, and related territories arranged in a complex heraldic shield, topped by a royal crown. The shield is surrounded by the Order of the Golden Fleece collar. The date appears in the field, with the legend ARCHIDUX AUSTRIAE DUX BURGUNDIAE MAR MOR encircling the composition within a beaded border. The execution is consistent with the finely detailed heraldic style of late 16th-century Bohemian gold coinage. |
