| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of George Frederick I, Margrave of Brandenburg, facing right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with heraldic ornamentation. The figure's right hand rests at the waist while the left hand is positioned at the side. The surrounding legend in Latin reads within the outer beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the detailed Germanic Renaissance style typical of late 16th-century Silesian coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large floriated cross occupying the full reverse field, with a small escutcheon bearing the arms of Silesia (an eagle) at the center. Each of the four angles formed by the cross contains a distinct heraldic shield of arms. The encircling Latin legend incorporates the date at its conclusion, all contained within a beaded outer border. The overall design is bold and symmetrical, consistent with the thaler coinage of the Silesian duchies of this period. |
