A narrow rectangular form, bent into a curve. The fronts are decorated with vases, putti and stylized foliage. The reverse of the two pieces are engraved with majuscules: G (abriel) B (ethlen) P (rinceps) T (ranssilvaniae) and C (atharina) B (randenburgica) S (ponsae) S (uae). The genuineness of the pieces and the date of the inscriptions have recently aroused some doubt.
