| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Duke August II facing right, with flowing hair and a lace collar visible above the cuirass. The portrait is rendered in the early Baroque style typical of early 17th-century German coinage, set within a beaded inner border. The circumferential legend in Latin reads around the full periphery of the field. |

| Reverse description | An eight-line Latin and German text inscription fills the entire reverse field, referencing Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II and certifying the coin's weight and fineness in accordance with Imperial Reich standards. The top line bears the abbreviated dedication 'A.G.S.I.A.G.' separated by a horizontal rule, followed by the Emperor's titles and the denomination statement 'EIN REIS DALER NACH REICHS SCHROT UND KORN,' confirming the coin was struck to Imperial Reichsthaler standards. The date 1624 appears within the inscription. The whole is enclosed within a beaded border. |
