| Obverse description | Draped bust of John Francis, Count of Trautson, facing right, wearing an elaborately decorated coat with a wide lace collar and richly embroidered garments rendered in fine relief. The effigy displays a bearded portrait with curling hair, characteristic of early 17th-century aristocratic portraiture. A beaded inner border separates the central bust from the surrounding circular Latin legend, which runs from the lower left, across the top, and down to the lower right of the field. |

| Reverse description | A displayed Imperial double-headed eagle with spread wings occupies the upper portion of the field, its two crowned heads flanking a central shield below. The quartered coat of arms, surmounted by an ornate crown, bears the heraldic devices of the Trautson family and associated lordships, supported by decorative mantling on either side. The date 1638 appears in the upper portion of the surrounding legend, which encircles the entire composition within a beaded border. The motto SVB VMBRA ALARVM TVARVM (Under the shadow of Thy wings) forms part of the continuous Latin inscription. |
