| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Duke Charles II facing right, wearing a large ruffed collar, rendered within a beaded or plain inner circle. The ducal effigy is depicted in a formal, high-relief baroque style typical of early 17th-century Silesian coinage. A Latin legend encircles the bust, identifying the ruler by title and dominion. |

The four-digit date 1613 appears at the conclusion of the encircling Latin legend. The heraldic display is rendered in the elaborate late Renaissance style characteristic of German princely coinage of the period. |
