| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large Gothic letter E, the civic initial of Einbeck, rendered in bold relief. A small rosette ornament appears adjacent to the letter, serving as a decorative stop. The circular legend EINBEC runs around the periphery in Latin characters, referencing the issuing city. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hammered copper coinage of the period, with a somewhat uneven surface. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a three-line inscription arranged centrally across the field, reading I / STAT / PEN, an abbreviated denomination legend standing for 1 Stadt Pfennig, denoting one city pfennig issued by Einbeck. The lettering is rendered in bold upright Roman capitals. The plain field is unadorned, with no additional symbols or ornaments, characteristic of the utilitarian style of German municipal copper coinage of the mid-to-late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. |
