| Obverse description | Crowned escutcheon bearing the quartered arms of Bavaria (lozengy bendy sinister argent and azure) and Liège (or, on a sable field a lion rampant), flanked by the denomination numerals '4' and 'L' in the field to left and right respectively. The circular legend reads the abbreviated title of Jean-Théodore of Bavaria, Cardinal and Duke, arranged around the shield. The heraldic composition is rendered in a bold baroque style typical of mid-18th century ecclesiastical coinage of the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing the date in the lower portion, surrounded by the circular legend abbreviating the full titles of Jean-Théodore as Bishop and Prince of Liège, Duke of Bouillon, Marquis of Franchimont, and Count of Looz and Horn. The reverse legend is set in Roman capital letters within a beaded or plain border, presenting the ecclesiastical and secular dignities of the issuing prince-bishop in the conventional Latin abbreviated form of the period. |
