| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Gothic monogram 'R' for Rudolf II, surmounted by a Royal Bohemian crown with fleurs and orb finial. The regnal year is split to either side of the monogram, with numerals flanking left and right in the field. The design is rendered in a bold, late-medieval Germanic hammered style typical of Kuttenberg mint issues. The flan is irregular and slightly scalloped at the edges, characteristic of hand-struck bracteate-style small denomination coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Blank reverse (uniface strike), displaying only the incuse impression and surface texture resulting from the hammered striking process. The flan shows natural flow lines and minor irregularities consistent with hand-produced planchets of late 16th to early 17th century Bohemian mint practice. No design, legend, or device is present on this side. |
