| Obverse description | Crowned bear passant to left, depicted in high relief atop a masoned wall with a central gate arch visible in the lower field. The animal bears a crown upon its head and is rendered with naturalistic detail in the tradition of German heraldic engraving. No peripheral legend is present; the design fills the flan with the armorial bear of Anhalt as the sole device. |

| Reverse description | Denomination expressed in three lines across the center of the field, reading I / MARIEN / GROS, with the date below and the mint-master initials HCRF beneath. The circular peripheral legend FURSTL. ANHALT BERNB. LAND MUNTZ surrounds the central inscription, separated by a star stop. The typography is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German provincial coinage, with the numeral I flanked by small ornamental stops. |
