| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Count Francis Xavier of Montfort, depicted in elaborate court dress with lace cravat and armored shoulder, his hair styled in a flowing wig characteristic of mid-18th century German baroque portraiture. The mintmaster's mark 'H' appears in the lower left field near the coin's inner border. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail, occupying most of the coin's field. The circular Latin legend surrounding the bust reads FRANC • XAV • COM • IN MONTFORT •, identifying the ruler as Franz Xaver, Count of Montfort. The coin features a milled inner border of fine dentils. |

| Reverse description | A crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the centre of the field, its wings spread, with a shield bearing the Montfort arms — a castellated tower — on its breast, and the denomination numeral '20' prominently displayed below in a cartouche at the base. The eagle is rendered in the baroque style with elaborate feather detail. The surrounding circular legend in Latin and German reads the mint ratio indicating 60 pieces to the fine mark, with the date split across the legend. The coin's milled dentil border frames the design neatly. |
