| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the quartered heraldic shield of the United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg, displaying the arms of the constituent territories including lions rampant, a fess chequy, a bend, and barry fields, all surmounted by a small ornate ducal crown. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend running along the outer periphery. The overall design reflects the complex heraldic tradition of the Rhenish duchies in the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | A displayed double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings, each head surmounted by a small crown and the whole device topped by a larger imperial crown above, symbolising the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. On the eagle's breast appears an orb or escutcheon. The design is contained within a beaded inner circle, with a Latin legend in the outer margin. The bold, deeply struck rendering of the eagle is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German hammered coinage. |
