Obverse description	Imperial double-headed eagle displayed at center, with wings spread and heads crowned, bearing a shield on its breast charged with the numeral I (denoting the value of 1 Kreuzer). The eagle is struck in the characteristic hammered style of mid-16th-century Silesian coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the partial legend of Emperor Maximilian II running around the periphery in Latin characters.

Reverse description	A long ornate cross divides the field into four quadrants, each containing a floral or trefoil ornament. The date numerals are distributed across the quadrants flanking the cross arms. The legend, giving the Emperor's titles as Archduke of Austria and Duke of Silesia, is arranged in four segments around the cross, reading ARCH / AVST D / VX SI / LESIÆ, all within a beaded border typical of Breslau mint issues of this period.
