| Obverse description | Central device depicts a crowned lion rampant to the left, standing on a decorative baroque-style shield base, its tail curled upward — the heraldic lion of Reuss. The legend G·R·PL·L·L·M· encircles the upper field, representing the titles of Count Henry II of Reuss-Lobenstein. Below the shield, the mintmaster initials I·C·R appear in the lower field. The design is executed in a restrained but precise engraving style consistent with late 18th-century German small coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold four-line denomination inscription reading 48 / EINEN / THALER / 1771, indicating the coin's value as one forty-eighth of a Thaler. The numeral 48 is prominently displayed at the top, with the remaining text arranged in three lines below, all surrounded by elegant foliate and rococo scroll ornaments filling the field. The date 1771 appears in the lowest line, flanked by small decorative flourishes. The overall composition is symmetrical and typical of the small silver and billon coinage of the German states in this period. |
