| Obverse description | Half-length effigy of Thomas I, Lord of Haldenstein, depicted bare-headed and clad in full plate armor, facing left. The figure is rendered in a bold relief characteristic of early seventeenth-century Swiss die-cutting, with the head and elbow of the armored figure intentionally breaking the inner corded border circle. The surrounding Latin legend reads THOMAS · L · B · AB · EHRENFELS · D · I · HA :, identifying the issuer as Thomas, Baron of Ehrenfels and Lord in Haldenstein. |

| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread, bearing on its breast a complex five-fold quartered coat of arms representing the overlapping jurisdictions and territorial claims of the Lordship of Haldenstein. The eagle's two heads face outward to either side beneath a single imperial crown. The surrounding Latin legend SVB · VMBRA · ALARVM · TVARVM · DNE, a devotional phrase drawn from Psalm 17, encircles the design within the outer border, invoking divine protection. |
