| Obverse description | The central field displays the quartered arms of Saxe-Meiningen, featuring the traditional Ernestine Saxon coat of arms with alternating horizontal barry and semy of roundels, surmounted by a ducal crown. The shield occupies the majority of the field and is rendered in fine detail characteristic of early 19th-century German minor state coinage. The circular legend HERZ.S.C.MEININGEN (Herzog zu Sachsen-Coburg-Meiningen) runs along the periphery in raised Latin capitals, abbreviated as was customary for small copper denominations of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination and date in three horizontal lines across the central field: the numeral '1' at the top flanked by two small floral rosettes, the word 'PFENNIG' in bold raised capitals across the centre, and the date '1818' below. A decorative garland or wreath ornament appears beneath the date, serving as a lower border embellishment. The design is austere and functional, consistent with the utilitarian style of minor copper coinage of the German states during this era. |
