| Obverse description | Central six-fold quartered coat of arms surmounted by an ornate crown, the shield displaying the heraldic charges of the County of East Frisia including eagles, lions, and other devices across its six quarters. The crowned arms divide the circular legend into two segments, appearing above and below the shield. The legend, rendered in Latin, encircles the field and contains the abbreviated titulature of Count George Christian. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and somewhat crude strike characteristic of hammered silver coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, its two heads each facing outward and surmounted by a single imperial crown at the centre above. The eagle's wings are spread and its talons are depicted clutching the imperial orb and sceptre. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, reading the abbreviated titles of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. The overall design follows the standard imperial eagle type commonly employed on German States coinage of the Leopold I period. |
