| Obverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil formation within a milled border. The uppermost shield bears a double-headed eagle, the emblem of the Bishopric of Chur; the lower-left shield displays the chamois of the Graubünden region; and the lower-right shield contains a further regional charge. The numeral '2' appears in the lower field between the base of the two lower shields, denoting the denomination. The overall design is executed in a simple, low-relief style consistent with small billon coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unadorned reverse with a smooth, slightly convex field and no inscriptions, devices, or decorative elements. The surface shows the characteristic texture of a hammered or lightly milled blank, typical of small-denomination billon pfennig coinage of the early eighteenth century from the Bishopric of Chur. |
