| Obverse description | Central circular cartouche containing a displayed Silesian eagle with spread wings, facing forward, set within a beaded inner border. The circular legend reads MONETA ARGENTEA SILESIÆ 3/4 TALERO, separated by a small ornament. The square klippe planchet features small mintmaster or control marks at each of the four corners. The overall design is characteristic of emergency siege coinage, with a bold, deeply struck eagle in a somewhat archaic style consistent with hammered production. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unadorned reverse surface typical of klippe siege coinage of the period, with no design or legend struck. The square diamond-shaped flan shows characteristic hammer marks and surface texture resulting from the emergency hammered production method employed during the siege of Glogau in 1621. |
