| Obverse description | Quartered shield of arms within a beaded inner circle, displaying the episcopal arms of Chur in four quarters, each bearing a lion passant in alternating positions. The shield is set boldly in the field without additional ornament. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the shield between the inner beaded circle and the outer rim, reading the bishop's name and title. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century South German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | Double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread, surmounted by an imperial crown. A shield on the breast of the eagle bears the numeral '3' denoting the denomination. The date 1628 appears in the exergue below the eagle. The surrounding Latin legend references Emperor Ferdinand II as Holy Roman Emperor. The composition is typical of contemporary Swiss ecclesiastical coinage struck under imperial suzerainty. |
