| Obverse description | Central design features the Cross of Burgundy — a saltire composed of two crossed, knotted and twigged branches — surmounted by an archducal crown, flanked on the left by the crowned arms of Castile and León and on the right by the crowned arms of Austria-Burgundy, with additional heraldic devices in the lower field. The composition is bold and deeply struck in the hammered tradition, with the crossed branches rendered in strong relief. A circular beaded or toothed inner border frames the central device. The peripheral legend reads · ALBERTVS · ET · ELISABET · DEI · GRATIA ·, identifying the joint rulers Albert and Isabella as sovereigns by divine grace. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the quartered royal arms of the Spanish Habsburgs — incorporating the arms of Castile, León, Aragon, Austria, Burgundy, Brabant, Flanders, and Tyrol — arranged within an ornate shield surmounted by an archducal crown. The shield is set within a decorative collar of alternating heraldic devices, consistent with the Order of the Golden Fleece cartouche tradition. A beaded inner border separates the central achievement from the peripheral Latin legend · ARCHI · D: AVST · DVCES · BVRG · ET · CO˙ FL, proclaiming Albert and Isabella as Archdukes of Austria, Dukes of Burgundy, and Counts of Flanders. The overall style is characteristic of Southern Netherlandish hammered silver coinage of the early seventeenth century. |
