| Obverse description | Central field features the Henneberg hen, the traditional heraldic charge of the County of Henneberg, depicted in low relief standing to the left on a small mound. The design is rendered in a simple, provincial style characteristic of small German territorial coinage of the early eighteenth century. The field surrounding the hen is plain and unadorned, with no legend present on this face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a four-line Latin inscription filling the central field, reading .H. / MEINING / HELLER / 1701., denoting the issuing territory of Henneberg-Meiningen, the denomination, and the year of issue. The lettering is bold and deeply struck in a plain serif style. The legend is enclosed within a dotted or milled inner border that follows the coin's circumference, a common device on small German copper coinage of the period. |
