| Obverse description | Crowned quartered coat of arms of Albert and Isabella occupying the central field, displaying the combined heraldic arms of Castile, León, Aragon, and Burgundy in a complex quartered shield surmounted by an elaborate crown. The peripheral Latin legend naming the joint rulers runs along the coin's circumference, partially visible on this irregularly shaped hammered flan. The die-work reflects the characteristic bold heraldic style of the Spanish Netherlands coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A large Burgundian cross with flared, decorated arms dominates the central field, with the civic arms of 's-Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc) placed at the center intersection. The date is divided by the cross arms, with numerals appearing in the quarters. The surrounding Latin legend, partially legible on this worn and irregular flan, identifies the rulers as Archdukes of Austria and Dukes of Burgundy and Brabant. The overall composition is typical of the liard coinage issued for the Spanish Netherlands under the Archdukes, struck on a roughly shaped copper flan. |
