| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Halberstadt — a divided coat of arms featuring ecclesiastical and territorial quarterings — surmounted by an ornate crested helmet with elaborate mantling extending into the field on both sides. The heraldic composition is rendered in the late Renaissance style typical of early seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, reading MON.EPI.SCOPAT.HALBE, identifying this as a monetary issue of the Bishopric of Halberstadt. |

| Reverse description | Central imperial orb bearing the numeral 24 within its lower globe, indicating the denomination of 1/24 Thaler, surmounted by a cross with a small crown at its base, all enclosed within a plain inner circle. A dotted border ring separates the central device from the surrounding circular Latin legend. The legend MATI.D.G.RO.IM.S.A. invokes the authority of Emperor Matthias (Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus), with the date appearing divided by the cross at the top of the orb. |
