| Obverse description | A standing wild man (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic supporter of Brunswick, depicted facing, clad in a garment of leaves or foliage, with one hand on his hip and the other grasping an uprooted tree or club planted at his side. The figure stands on a rocky or uneven ground line, rendered in a vigorous baroque engraving style. The mintmaster's initials E·P·H· appear in the exergue below the central device, separated by pellets. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and monetary designation are displayed in four bold lines across the plain field: the numeral I at the top flanked on either side by ornamental rosette stops, followed by PFENNING / SCHEIDE / MUNTZ, and the date 1726 at the base. The lettering is rendered in large, well-spaced Roman capitals characteristic of early eighteenth-century German coinage design, with no peripheral legend or border ornament beyond the milled edge. |
