| Obverse description | Central field features the interlaced ducal cypher 'EF' (for Ernst Friedrich) rendered as an elaborate foliate monogram, surmounted by a ducal crown. The device is set within a plain field bordered by a milled or rope-edged rim. The monogram is executed in a Baroque calligraphic style typical of early 18th-century German minor coinage. |

| Reverse description | Three-line inscription filling the central field, reading 'H' (abbreviation for Hildburghausen) on the first line, 'HELLER' on the second line in bold capital letters, and the date '1736' on the third line, with a small star or ornament below. The legends are presented in a plain typographic style within a milled rim, consistent with the utilitarian character of small copper coinage of the period. |
