| Obverse description | Centered mitred episcopal hat (mitre) with the initial 'A' of Abbot Arnold flanked by the divided date — '16' to the left and the final two digits to the right — the mitre breaking through the inner circle. A lily appears below the mitre in the field. The surrounding Latin legend is interrupted by the mitre and reads 'D G EL ET CON ABB COR', denoting the abbot's title by the grace of God, elect and confirmed abbot of Corvey. |

| Reverse description | The denomination expressed in three lines within the inner circle, incorporating the mintmaster's mark; the Roman numeral 'II' at the top breaks through the inner circle and interrupts the surrounding legend. A rosette ornament appears within the legend at the top of the design. The arrangement follows standard small-denomination German ecclesiastical coinage conventions of the mid-seventeenth century. |
