| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of George Frederick I, Margrave of Brandenburg and Duke of Jägerndorf, facing right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with a ruff collar and a sash across the chest. The ruler's beard and curled hair are rendered with fine detail characteristic of late Renaissance hammered coinage. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading MO NO ARG GEOR F MAR BRAN Z SL DVC, abbreviating his titles as Duke of Jägerndorf and Margrave of Brandenburg. |

| Reverse description | Central ornate quartered shield displaying the arms of the Hohenzollern-Brandenburg territories, arranged around a scepter cross with decorative Renaissance scrollwork. The four quarters contain distinct heraldic charges including an eagle, a griffin, a lion, and additional devices associated with the Silesian and Brandenburg territories, with a small imperial eagle at the center of the cross. The date appears prominently in the upper field, divided by the central ornament. The surrounding Latin legend, reading SI DEVS PRO NOBIS QVIS CONTRA NOS with the year 1593, is a biblical motto from Romans 8:31 and runs within a beaded border. |
