| Obverse description | Crowned emperor enthroned facing, seated on an ornate high-backed throne with columned armrests, holding an orb surmounted by a cross in his right hand and a sceptre in his left; the date 16-43 is divided across the field on either side of the figure. The city arms of Aachen, displaying an eagle, appear on a shield below the throne. The circular legend runs along the coin's inner border, separated by a beaded ring from the outer edge. |

| Reverse description | Displayed double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings, each head surmounted by a crown and both united beneath a central imperial crown at the top; an orb bearing a cross is depicted on the breast. The surrounding legend, bearing the titles of Emperor Ferdinand III, runs continuously within a beaded border along the coin's circumference. The eagle's plumage is rendered in fine detail consistent with the baroque engraving style of the mid-seventeenth century. |
