| Obverse description | Armored bust of Philip Julius, Duke of Pomerania-Wolgast, facing right, wearing an elaborately decorated cuirass and a high ruffed collar, with long wavy hair and a full beard, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance style characteristic of German ducal coinage of the early seventeenth century. The circumferential Latin legend reads PHILIPPUS IULIUS D G DUX STETIN POMER, identifying the ruler by name and title, separated from the inner circle by a plain margin and bordered by a milled or toothed outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Elaborately engraved nine-fold coat of arms of the House of Pomerania displayed on an ornate shield, surmounted by a crested helmet with flowing mantling, and supported on either side by two wild men (Wilde Männer) clad in helmets, a heraldic motif traditional to Pomeranian ducal coinage. The date 1621 is divided in two parts in the upper margin of the field. The circumferential Latin motto legend FATA FEREN FE PARI PATIEN PALMAM encircles the composition, with the date numerals interrupting the legend at the top. |
