| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Duchess Elisabeth Maria of Württemberg-Oels, depicted in high Baroque style with an elaborately ornamented headdress and richly embroidered mantle, a pearl necklace at her throat. The effigy occupies the central field within a beaded inner border. The circumferential legend in Latin reads ELISABET MARIA . DUC . WURTEMB . TEC ., distributed around the portrait. The engraving is of fine quality, characteristic of late 17th-century German memorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a fully inscribed memorial text field, entirely filled with a multi-line Latin epitaph commemorating the life and death of Duchess Elisabeth Maria, enclosed within a wreath border with decorative foliate cartouches at the top and bottom. The inscription records her parentage, her marriage to Duke Sylvius of Württemberg and Teck, her role as mother of six children and grandmother of eleven, her death on 17 March 1686, and the beginning of her life on 2 May 1625. The text is arranged in eleven lines across the plain field, with no additional imagery, in the tradition of German Baroque memorial thalers. |
