| Obverse description | Quartered shield of arms of the Bishopric of Chur, ornamented with elaborate baroque cartouche mantling, occupying the central field. The four quarters display the heraldic devices associated with Bishop Ulrich VII von Mont, including lions and floral charges. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading the bishop's titles and territorial claims, separated by ornamental stops. The coin's edge is closely milled, consistent with late 17th-century Swiss ecclesiastical gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the central field, with wings spread and both heads facing outward, representing the suzerainty of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. An imperial orb appears on the eagle's breast. The surrounding circular Latin legend names the emperor and records his titles, with the date 1693 incorporated within the inscription. The overall design follows the standard Imperial eagle type employed on contemporary Holy Roman Empire ecclesiastical coinage. |
