| Obverse description | Central field bears a crowned ducal monogram, likely the intertwined initials of the reigning duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, surmounted by a ducal crown. The monogram is rendered in relief against a plain field, in the style typical of small German States copper coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. The lettering 'FDS' appears as the obverse legend, abbreviated in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a four-line inscription within the field denoting the denomination and issuing authority, reading '1 GUTER PFENNIG F.S.W.V.E. L. MVNZ 1757', with the date 1757 in the exergue or lower legend. The abbreviation 'F.S.W.V.E.' refers to the Fürstentum Sachsen-Weimar und Eisenach, identifying the issuing duchy. The text is set in capital Latin letters arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's reverse field, characteristic of small-denomination German States coinage of the period. |
