| Obverse description | Complex quartered coat of arms of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg, comprising multiple heraldic charges including lions and horizontal bars, surmounted by three ornate crowns arranged across the upper field. The shield is flanked by partial legend in the surrounding field. The overall composition reflects the elaborate heraldic style typical of early seventeenth-century North German hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with wings spread, bearing on its breast a small shield inscribed with the denomination numeral. The date is incorporated into the design flanking the central shield. The surrounding circular Latin legend is separated from the eagle device by a beaded inner circle, consistent with the hammered coinage conventions of the early seventeenth century. |
