| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered Spanish royal arms — featuring castles and lions in the first and fourth quarters, and the pales of Aragon alternating with additional heraldic charges — surmounted by an ornate imperial crown, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in the late Renaissance heraldic style characteristic of Hapsburg coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend runs between the inner circle and the toothed outer rim, identifying the coin as silver coinage of the imperial city of Kampen. |

| Reverse description | A boldly struck, displayed double-headed imperial eagle with wings spread and talons outstretched occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle; both heads face outward and are surmounted by a single imperial crown above the junction of the necks. The eagle's feathering and wing-feather detail are rendered with characteristic late-sixteenth-century hammered die artistry. A continuous Latin legend encircles the design between the inner circle and the irregular outer rim, citing Emperor Rudolf II by his full imperial titulature. |
