| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Wilhelm I, Count of Schaumburg-Lippe, facing left, with flowing curled hair rendered in fine detail. The portrait is set in high relief against a smooth field, exhibiting fine engraving characteristic of mid-18th-century German court medallic art. A circular Latin legend runs along the entire periphery, separated from the design by a finely milled border of beads or reeding. The legend abbreviates the ruler's titles as Count Regent of Schaumburg-Lippe and lord of associated territories. |

| Reverse description | A crowned quartered shield of arms with a central escutcheon, encircled by a decorative chain of order and superimposed upon a cross, occupying the central field. The heraldic composition reflects the dynastic claims of the House of Schaumburg-Lippe, including allusions to the Portuguese royal connection referenced in the legend. A two-line inscription surrounds and accompanies the shield, with the denomination and date rendered in the exergue. The entire design is enclosed within a milled or beaded border consistent with the obverse. |
