| Obverse description | Central shield of arms displaying the horizontal barry field of Isenburg, surmounted by a comital crown with pendants, the whole flanked by ornamental scrollwork supporters. A double circular legend in Latin encircles the central device, the inner legend separated from the outer by a beaded border. The inscriptions record the full titles of Count Wolfgang Ernst of Isenburg and Büdingen, and notably reference the silver mines near Heiler as the origin of the metal. The execution reflects early seventeenth-century German baroque heraldic engraving. |

| Reverse description | Spread double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, each head turned outward and surmounted by a single arch crown, the two heads united beneath a larger imperial crown at the top of the flan. An orb bearing a small crown is depicted on the breast of the eagle. The surrounding circular legend in Latin records the titles of Holy Roman Emperor Matthias with the date 1618 incorporated into the legend. The composition follows the standard Reichsthaler reverse type mandated by imperial decree. |
