| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of Emperor Rudolf II facing right, with a prominent ruffled collar and draped mantle, rendered in the detailed late Renaissance style characteristic of the Hall Mint. The emperor's bearded effigy fills the inner circle, conveying imperial authority. A beaded inner circle frames the bust, with the Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading RVDOLPHVS II D G ROM IM S A G HV BO REX, identifying him as Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary and Bohemia. |

| Reverse description | A ornate cross composed of four heraldic shields arranged in quadrants, each bearing the arms of the Habsburg territories: Austria, Burgundy, Tyrol, and Bohemia, separated by the cross itself in the fashion typical of multi-denominational Habsburg coinage. The date appears in the upper field flanking the cross. The peripheral Latin legend NECNON ARCHIDUCES AV D BV C T encircles the design within a beaded border, referencing the Archduke's additional titles. The overall composition reflects the intricate heraldic style of late 16th- to early 17th-century Hall Mint hammered coinage. |
