| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Sylvius II Frederick facing right, wearing a long curled periwig and armored cuirass with decorative mantle. The numeral XV appears in the lower field beneath the bust, serving as the denomination indicator. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading SYLV FRID D G DVX WIRT ET TEC ISOl or similar, in Latin script. The portrait is rendered in the late Baroque style typical of late 17th-century German princely coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned Silesian eagle displayed with spread wings, facing forward, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle. The mintmaster's initials appear in the lower field flanking the eagle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design in the outer margin, with the date divided at the top by the princely crown, reading CO MON B DOM REIS D STERN. The eagle, a traditional heraldic symbol of Silesia, is rendered in fine detail consistent with late 17th-century German die-cutting. |
