| Obverse description | Five-fold coat of arms displayed within a beaded inner circle, with the small escutcheon of Ravensberg positioned at the base. The date appears at the conclusion of the surrounding Latin legend. The heraldic composition is rendered in the ornate style typical of late sixteenth-century German territorial coinage. |

| Reverse description | Three ornate crested helmets arranged side by side within a beaded inner circle, each surmounted by elaborate decorative mantling and distinct heraldic crests, including crowned motifs. The helmets correspond to the territorial claims of Jülich, Kleve, and Berg. The surrounding Latin legend, broken by the helmet arrangement, identifies the issuing duke and his dominions. The overall design is characteristic of hammered billon coinage of the Jülich-Kleve-Berg territorial complex. |
