| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of Emperor Matthias I facing right, depicted in high relief with detailed engraving of his cuirass, ruff collar, and mantle. The effigy occupies the central field, rendered in the robust late Renaissance style characteristic of early 17th-century Habsburg coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, separated from the field by a beaded inner border, reading MATTHIAS D G R I S A GER HVNG BOHE REX, proclaiming his titles as King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. |

| Reverse description | Crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the central field, its wings spread and each head surmounted by a separate crown, with a further imperial crown above uniting them. A large quartered coat of arms is superimposed on the eagle's breast, bearing the multiple heraldic devices of the Habsburg territories. The eagle's talons grip a sword and sceptre. A circular Latin legend along the periphery, within a beaded border, reads ARCHID AVS DVX BVR CO TYR with the date 1619, citing the emperor's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Tyrol. |
