| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned abbatial monogram of Arnold IV von Waldois, comprising interlaced letters surmounted by a mitre, all set within an oval cartouche. The monogram is rendered in high relief with bold, stylized strokes characteristic of mid-17th-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend runs along the coin's periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded border. The letter 'A' appears in the lower field as an additional initial reference to the abbot's name. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the denomination expressed in two lines as 'II MARI GROS', set within a double-ringed inner circle decorated with ornamental flourishes. Surrounding this central cartouche, a continuous Latin legend carries the fineness statement and date, reading clockwise around the periphery. The overall layout is typical of north German silver Mariengroschen of the mid-17th century, with the date incorporated within the outer legend. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
