| Obverse description | Central field features the episcopal arms of Clemens Wenzeslaus — a crowned escutcheon bearing a harp, flanked by elaborate mantling — surmounted by a princely crown. The arms are rendered in high relief with fine decorative detail to the mantle and crown. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design, running along the milled border and attributing the full titles of the issuer. The overall composition is characteristic of late Baroque ecclesiastical coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a bold three-line inscription stating the denomination and date, arranged centrally: EIN above KREUTZER, followed by the four-digit year below. A small mint mark letter appears beneath the date. The reverse is unadorned apart from the milled border, giving the design a stark, legible character typical of utilitarian copper coinage of the period. |
