| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn — displaying the characteristic crossed keys of Paderborn alongside horizontal bars — surmounted by an ornate bishop's mitre, all within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a late Renaissance heraldic style typical of ecclesiastical coinage of the period. The surrounding legend, separated from the central device by the beaded border, reads THEOD. D.G. EC. PADERB. EP., identifying Bishop Theodore of Fürstenberg as issuing authority by divine grace. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a globe or orb divided by a cross, with the denomination numeral 24 (indicating 1/24 Thaler) inscribed in the lower half of the orb, and a patriarchal cross surmounting the orb above, all set within a beaded inner circle. The date, split to either side of the central device, indicates the year of issue. The surrounding legend reads RVD(O). Z. D. G. R(O). I. S. AV. P. F. DE., referencing Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, by whose authority the coin's standard was sanctioned. The overall composition is characteristic of late 16th-century North German ecclesiastical groschen coinage. |
