Obverse description Quartered coat of arms of Holstein-Schaumburg-Pinneberg surmounted by a crown, displayed within the field. The shield is divided into four quarters bearing the respective heraldic devices of the county, including a nettle leaf and castle motifs. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, reading the ruler's abbreviated titles and name. The coin's irregular flan is characteristic of hammered production, with the design struck within a beaded inner border.

Reverse description Spread imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings outstretched and head turned, bearing an orb on its breast. A small crown is visible above the eagle's head. The surrounding circular Latin legend denotes the denomination as one twenty-first part of a Thaler. The legend is separated from the central device by a beaded border, and the overall strike reflects the hand-produced hammered technique typical of early seventeenth-century German minor coinage.
