| Obverse description | Bust of Ferdinand of Bavaria facing right, depicted in ecclesiastical vestments with a prominent mitre above his head, occupying the central field. The effigy is rendered in a somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of minor copper coinage of the period. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer border, interrupted by the irregular flan edge. The portrait is low-relief and shows typical wear consistent with circulation coinage of this denomination. |

| Reverse description | Crowned quartered heraldic shield occupying the central field, bearing the combined arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Liege and the County of Looz (Loon), surmounted by a bishop's mitre or princely crown. The shield quarters display the characteristic cross of Liege and the stripes of Looz. A partial Latin legend encircles the periphery, with bullet separators between words. The reverse is struck on an irregular flan with typical die characteristics of hammered copper coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |
