| Obverse description | Large Gothic 'W' initial, representing the city of Breslau (Wrocław), occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle. The last two digits of the date are divided and placed above the 'W', flanking its upper strokes. The overall design is plain and unlettered, typical of small emergency copper coinage of the early Thirty Years' War period. |

| Reverse description | A crowned Gothic 'F' monogram, standing for Emperor Ferdinand II, is centrally placed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches that encircles the entire field. The imperial crown above the letter is rendered in a simple but recognizable style consistent with small hammered copper issues. No peripheral legend is present, the design relying solely on the crowned monogram as the primary device. |
