| Obverse description | Draped bust of Albrecht von Wallenstein facing right, rendered in the baroque portrait style typical of early 17th-century Silesian coinage. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend reading the duke's titles, with a mintmaster's mark in the form of a burin positioned at the top of the field. The denomination numeral '3' appears within or adjacent to the legend. The portrait conveys the authority and martial bearing characteristic of Wallenstein's personal coinage issues. |

| Reverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil formation, enclosed within the chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece, symbolizing Wallenstein's membership in this prestigious chivalric order. Arabesque ornamental motifs fill the spaces between the shields, and a letter 'S' appears within a decorative frame, likely denoting the Sagan mint or mintmaster. A Latin legend encircles the entire design, with the date 1631 incorporated at the conclusion of the inscription. |
