| Obverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with the denomination numeral displayed on a circular shield at the breast. A continuous Latin legend encircles the eagle, referencing the lordship of Falkenstein and the Order of the Golden Fleece. The eagle's wings are spread, and the imperial crown surmounts both heads. The overall design reflects the heraldic conventions of the late Renaissance Austrian minting tradition. |

| Reverse description | Central shield bearing the Trautson family coat of arms, ensigned within the collar and pendant of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The armorial shield is rendered in the heraldic style characteristic of the late 16th and early 17th century Austrian feudal coinage. A continuous Latin legend surrounding the central device identifies the issuer as Paul Sixtus of Trautson, Count of the family domain. The composition is formal and symmetrical, consistent with the presentation of noble authority on contemporaneous Habsburg-era feudal issues. |
