| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George II facing left, with long flowing curled wig typical of the early 18th-century portrait style. The king's effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the lace cravat and coat. The mintmaster's initials 'EH' appear below the truncation. The circumferential legend in Latin reads around the full border, separated from the bust by a plain inner field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears an entirely typographic design with no figural elements, presenting a seven-line Latin commemorative inscription arranged symmetrically across the plain field. A small ornamental star or flower device appears above and below the text block, serving as decorative punctuation. The inscription records the name and inauguration of the Georgia Augusta University at Göttingen, with the date given in Roman numerals. The coin was struck to mark the formal foundation of the university on 17 September 1737 under the patronage of King George II. |
