| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of the Bishopric of Paderborn, featuring the characteristic crossed keys motif, surmounted by a bishop's cross. The escutcheon is set within a plain field. The encircling legend, rendered in Latin, reads THEO. A. FURS. D. G. E. P. P., identifying the issuer as Theodor von Fürstenberg, Prince-Bishop of Paderborn, by the grace of God. The lettering is in a Gothic script typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Reverse description | A double-headed Imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread, bearing on its breast a shield inscribed with the numeral 3 denoting the coin's face value of 3 Kreuzer. The date 1611 appears divided across the upper field flanking the eagle's heads. The surrounding Latin legend RUD. II. D. G. RO. IM. S. A. acknowledges the suzerainty of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, following standard Imperial coinage conventions of the period. |
