| Obverse description | Central field displays an interlaced monogram of the letters D and S within a beaded inner circle. The monogram is rendered in bold relief in the Gothic style typical of early 17th-century German coinage. Surrounding the inner circle is a Latin legend reading the titles of Duke Augustus I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, separated by rosette stops. The overall design is characteristic of the Kipper und Wipper period of emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | A displayed Imperial double-headed eagle occupies the central field, with an orb on the breast bearing the denomination numeral 16, indicating the coin's value as a 1/16 Thaler. The eagle is rendered in the standard Imperial style of the early 17th century. A Latin legend surrounding the eagle contains the titles of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, with the date incorporated into the legend. The design conforms to standard Kipper-period fractional Thaler types issued under Imperial authority. |
