| Descripción del anverso | Armored bust of John II, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, facing right within a beaded inner circle, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor with decorative gorget. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the beard and hair. The surrounding Latin legend reads clockwise, with the notable feature of reversed N letterforms throughout the inscription. The legend identifies the ruler with his full titulature as Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, Jülich, Cleves, and Berg. |

| Descripción del reverso | Elaborate manifold quartered coat of arms of the Palatinate-Zweibrücken dynasty, comprising multiple heraldic fields including the Palatinate lion, Bavarian lozenges, and subsidiary territorial arms, all enclosed within an ornate cartouche with foliate mantling. Above the shield rise five ornate plumed helms with elaborate crests, each surmounted by heraldic devices including crowns, lions, and eagles. The date appears at the end of the circumferential Latin legend, which continues the ruler's territorial titulature across both obverse and reverse. The legend reads around the periphery within a beaded border. |

John II ruled Palatinate-Zweibrücken during one of the most destructive phases of the Thirty Years' War, and these thalers were struck precisely as Imperial and Spanish forces were dismantling the Palatinate branch of the Wittelsbach family's power. His cousin Frederick V had just lost the Bohemian crown and been placed under Imperial ban in 1621, leaving the entire Rhenish Palatinate exposed to occupation. John II's own territory in the Saarland region fared little better — Swedish, Spanish, and Imperial troops moved through repeatedly across the decade.
That this duchy produced thalers at all in 1623–24 reflects how quickly local minting activity collapsed thereafter.
