| Obverse description | Half-length armored effigy of Duke Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, depicted three-quarters to the right, holding a battle axe over his right shoulder; the date is divided by the figure on either side. The design is framed by four concentric margins, with the outer legend commencing VON. G. GNADEN. The portrait is rendered in the late Renaissance style characteristic of German princely coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Elaborate heraldic composition featuring the ducal arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, prominently displayed within a wreath and supported by two wild men (Wildmänner): the dexter supporter holds an imperial orb with the denomination numeral '8' punched over an earlier '5' (denoting TALER), while the sinister supporter holds a lit candle. The design is enclosed within two concentric margin lines, framing the entire heraldic device in the formal style of late sixteenth-century German Mehrfachtaler coinage. |
