| Obverse description | Central field features the arms of Schwyz — a ram displayed on a square-cornered shield with decorative ornamentation flanking both sides. The date 1623 appears in the exergue below the shield. The surrounding legend is interrupted at the base by the shield and reads continuously around the periphery in Latin capital letters. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with both heads turned outward beneath a single imperial crown. The wings are spread and the eagle's body fills the central field, rendered in the bold, stylized manner typical of early seventeenth-century Swiss cantonal coinage. The peripheral legend in Latin capital letters encircles the eagle, separated by pellet stops. |
