| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Duke Philip II facing right, clad in elaborately detailed plate armor with gorget and pauldrons visible, the figure occupying the majority of the field. The surrounding Latin legend reads the duke's titles, interrupted by rosette stops, within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the robust high-relief style typical of late sixteenth-century German Ausbeute coinage. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Andrew standing behind his saltire cross, which divides the date 15-95 in the lateral fields. An imperial orb bearing the denomination mark Z4 (24 Groschen) appears above the saint's head, while a five-fold quartered coat of arms is positioned below. The reverse legend, separated by stops, carries the pious motto GOT GIBT GOT NIMBT, all within a beaded border consistent with Ausbeute mining coinage of the Brunswick territories. |
