| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large stylized six-petalled rose in high relief, with rounded petals radiating symmetrically from a circular centre. Surrounding the rose, alternating large rosettes and small four-pointed stars are distributed around the border, forming a decorative wreath-like arrangement. The design is bold and naive in character, consistent with minor provincial copper coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Denomination expressed as the numeral '1' with a fraction bar and '2' below, denoting 1½, displayed prominently within a plain circular border at the centre of the field. Surrounding this central circle, a ring of evenly spaced small rosettes encircles the entire design, echoing the decorative vocabulary of the obverse. The layout is simple and functional, typical of small-denomination copper issues from the German States in the early eighteenth century. |
