| Obverse description | Crowned and armored bust of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved flowing hair and a short pointed beard. The emperor wears an ornate imperial crown and richly decorated armor with elaborate collar detailing. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy, with the Latin legend arranged around the periphery reading his full royal and imperial titulature. The portrait is executed in the grand Baroque style characteristic of mid-17th century Habsburg coinage from the Silesian mints. |

| Reverse description | The Austrian imperial double-headed eagle displayed, each head surmounted by a separate crown and both heads together beneath a large imperial crown at the apex. The eagle's breast bears the Habsburg escutcheon of the combined arms of Austria, Hungary, and Burgundy. The mint-master's initials appear in the lower field flanking the shield. The date 1657 is prominently placed in the upper field of the legend, with the full Latin titulature of the emperor's territorial dignities arranged around the periphery within a beaded border. |
