| Obverse description | Draped bust of Count Anton Günther of Oldenburg facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail befitting his advanced age, depicting an elderly bearded figure with long hair and a lace collar. The effigy is uncrowned and occupies the majority of the coin's field. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery. The inscriptions 'aetat 82' and 'regimi 62' appear in the field flanking the portrait, commemorating the count's 82nd year of age and 62nd year of reign. |

The circumferential Latin legend is separated from the central device by a beaded border, with the date 1665 integrated into the legend. |
