| Obverse description | The ducal arms of Saxony displayed as a plain shield, divided by a central diagonal band (the Rautenkranz or rue crown stripe) overlying a field of alternating horizontal barry stripes and bezants, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The initials S.W.E. (Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach) appear in raised letters along the upper rim, flanked by dots, serving as the sole legend on this face. The shield is rendered in a bold, simplified heraldic style characteristic of early nineteenth-century German state coinage, with no additional decorative surround or cartouche. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are presented in a straightforward three-line arrangement centred in the field: the numeral '1' on the uppermost line, 'PFENNIG' in bold capital letters on the second line, and the four-digit year date on the third line. A short horizontal rule appears beneath the date, providing a visual base to the inscription. The plain, unadorned field and absence of a surrounding legend give the reverse a stark, utilitarian character consistent with minor copper coinage of the German states in the early nineteenth century. |
