| Obverse description | Draped bust of Archduke Ferdinand Karl of Austria facing right, depicted with long flowing hair and armored shoulders, set within a wreath border. A small oval countermark bearing the arms of Salzburg under Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg is applied to the right field, partially overlapping the bust. The surrounding legend reads FERDINAND:CAROL:D:G:ARCHIDVX·AVST in Latin capital letters. The coin exhibits a fine inner beaded border encircling the design, with an outer milled edge. The portrait is rendered in the baroque style characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century Tyrolean coinage from the Hall Mint. |

| Reverse description | A large crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the center field, its wings spread and bodies facing outward, rendered in bold relief in the baroque tradition. The eagle is framed by a laurel wreath border. The divided legend DVX·BVRGVNDIÆ·COMES·TYROLIS: runs around the periphery in Latin capital letters, referencing Ferdinand Karl's titles as Duke of Burgundy and Count of Tyrol. A fine inner beaded border separates the legend from the central device, with the coin's milled outer edge visible at the rim. |
