| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, a rampant lion facing left stands atop a small pedestal or ground line, rendered in bold relief. The lion, serving as the heraldic emblem of the Reuss principality, displays a crowned head, raised forepaw, and extended tail. The field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend. The overall style is characteristic of late 18th-century German minor coinage. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded border, the denomination and issuing authority are presented in five lines of bold serif lettering across the plain field: '1/2' on the first line, 'PFENNIG' on the second, 'G.R.P.' (Graf Reuss Prinzipal) on the third, 'GREIZER' on the fourth, 'L.M.' on the fifth, and the date '1775' at the base. The inscription is well-centered and cleanly struck, typical of the Greiz mint output of this period. |
