| Obverse description | Bearded bust of Wilhelm of Rosenberg facing left, wearing an elaborate ruffled collar and richly ornamented mantle adorned with the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, rendered in high relief in the late Renaissance hammered style. The portrait displays finely detailed curling hair and beard characteristic of the period's medallic art. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the coin's rim, reading WILHELM GVER DOM ROSENB. |

| Reverse description | An armored equestrian figure, identified as Saint George or a knightly rider, mounted on a prancing horse and depicted in vigorous motion across the field. The rider raises a sword aloft in his right hand and bears a shield on his left arm, evoking the chivalric ideals of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The scene is enclosed by a beaded inner border with the Latin legend DEI GRATIA ROMANORVM IMPERII PRINCEPS running along the outer rim, affirming Wilhelm's status as a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The composition is rendered in the bold, expressive manner typical of Bohemian late Renaissance hammered coinage. |
