| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a displayed imperial double-headed eagle with spread wings, each head surmounted by a crown, with a orb atop the central cross. A circular shield at the breast of the eagle bears the numeral '3', denoting the coin's denomination. Partial legend MATTI.D.G.R.S.A. appears around the periphery, referencing Emperor Matthias (Holy Roman Emperor), struck in hammered style with characteristic irregular flan. |

| Reverse description | Central quartered shield bearing the arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel: two lions passant in the upper quarters and two horizontal bars in the lower quarters, with an escutcheon at the center featuring a rampant lion. The heraldic achievement is surrounded by the Latin motto legend LABORE.CONSUMIM: (meaning 'we are consumed by labour'), arranged around the periphery of the irregular hammered flan. The die work is typical of early seventeenth-century German provincial minting. |
