| Obverse description | Three coats of arms arranged two over one in the field, with the denomination mark IIII K. displayed above the shields. The circular legend bearing the titles of Grand Master Johann Caspar von Ampringen runs around the periphery in Latin script. The design is characteristic of the Teutonic Order's heraldic coinage tradition of the mid-17th century. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of the crowned Madonna holding the Christ Child on her left arm, both figures surrounded by an elaborate radiate glory of rays emanating from behind. The date appears in the outer margin of the legend, with the titulature of the Grand Master as administrator of the Order continuing around the periphery. The denticulated inner border separates the central device from the surrounding inscription, and a finely beaded outer border frames the entire design. |
