| Obverse description | Crowned coat of arms of the Duchy of Arenberg, charged with three cinquefoils arranged two-and-one, supported on the dexter side by a rampant lion and on the sinister side by a spread-winged eagle, both standing on a grassy ground. A large ducal crown surmounts the shield. The denomination 2/3 appears in an oval cartouche at the base of the design. The circular Latin legend reads CAROLVS EVGENVS D G DVX ARNBERGICVS, separated by a decorative rosette, all within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | An eagle with wings spread wide perches atop a rocky outcrop, its head turned to the sinister to gaze upward toward a radiant sun depicted in the upper right field, the sun bearing a monogram at its centre. The date 1676 appears in the lower portion of the circular Latin legend, which reads SVO INTENTA · XL · DVL · A · 1676, all contained within a beaded border. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of late seventeenth-century German minting. |
