| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the rampant lion of Brunswick, facing left, set within a beaded inner circle. The lion is rendered in the late medieval Gothic style with bold, stylized mane and claws. A legend in uncial Latin characters runs continuously around the periphery of the coin, contained between the beaded border and the inner circle. The overall design is characteristic of late 15th-century German municipal coinage, struck on an irregular flan by hammering. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized panoramic view of the city of Brunswick depicted as a row of five turreted towers and gabled buildings, representing the urban silhouette of the medieval city. The architectural motif is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a cross visible above the central tower. An uncial Latin legend encircles the design between the beaded outer border and the inner circle, identifying the issuing city. The engraving reflects the conventional civic imagery employed on German municipal groschen of the period. |

Brunswick's civic coinage in 1500 occupied a contested space — the city jealously guarded its minting rights against the surrounding Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and issues from this period reflect that municipal independence asserted in metal. The billon standard used here, well below typical groschen fineness, mirrors a broader debasement trend sweeping north German civic mints in the late fifteenth century as silver supplies tightened and civic finances strained.
The MB#8 reference places this among the earliest documented strikings in the Jesse sequence for Brunswick city issues.
