| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg, facing right, set within a beaded inner circle that the bust breaks at the top and bottom. The denomination numeral '3' appears at the base of the bust within the inner circle. The peripheral Latin legend runs continuously around the outer field, identifying the ruler by name and title. The portrait is rendered in the baroque style typical of mid-17th-century German coinage, with visible details of the cuirass and lace cravat. |

| Reverse description | The Silesian eagle displayed with head turned to the left, wings spread, rendered in fine detail with feathering visible across the body and wings. The eagle is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a floral ornament at the top. The surrounding Latin legend in the outer field proclaims the coin as new silver coinage and records the date of issue. The composition is characteristic of Silesian subsidiary coinage struck under Brandenburg authority in the second half of the 17th century. |
