| Obverse description | A walking stag passant to the left occupies the central field, set within a beaded or rope-bordered wreath. The design reflects the heraldic tradition of Brunswick, with the stag rendered in relief typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. A partial circular legend surrounds the composition, reading ORA ET LABORA (Pray and Work), consistent with the pious motto adopted under Duke Frederick Ulrich. |

| Obverse lettering | ORA. ET. LABORA. (Translation: Pray and work. (Arbeite und bete.)) |
| Reverse description | An imperial orb surmounted by a cross occupies the central field, with the numeral 24 inscribed within the orb, denoting the coin's denomination as the 24th part of a Thaler. The split date 16 and 19 appears in the quarters formed by the orb's cross arms. A partial circular legend around the orb references Emperor Matthias, consistent with the formulaic Kipper und Wipper-era groschen coinage struck in the name of the Holy Roman Emperor. |
