| Obverse description | Draped bust of Rudolf VI, Count of Helfenstein, facing right, wearing ruffled collar and armour, with flowing hair. A circular Latin legend runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The portrait is rendered in the typical Kipper-period style, with shallow relief characteristic of hastily produced debased coinage of the early Thirty Years' War era. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread, bearing an orb on its breast inscribed with the numeral 24 denoting the coin's value in Kreuzer. A circular Latin legend containing the titles of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The design follows the standard imperial eagle type common to German Kipper coinage of the 1620s. |
