| Obverse description | Imperial eagle displayed with spread wings, head turned sinister, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of late 14th-century Luxembourg coinage. The eagle occupies the central field and is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, beyond which runs a continuous Latin legend. The design reflects Wenceslaus II's status as King of the Romans and his claim to imperial authority. |

| Reverse description | Two heraldic shields arranged side by side in the central field, bearing the arms of Bohemia (a rampant lion) and Luxembourg respectively, separated and flanked by five-pointed stars above and below. The composition is framed by a double pearled border, with the mint legend inscribed in the annular space between the two concentric circles. The arrangement follows standard late medieval Low Countries numismatic convention for dynastic heraldic display. |
