| Obverse description | Central field displays a large heraldic monogram composed of interlaced letters, likely the combined initials of the five co-ruling princes of Anhalt, arranged in a cruciform pattern. Small six-pointed stars or ornamental devices appear in the angles between the arms of the monogram. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and shallow strike characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the early seventeenth century. No legible legend is present on this face. |

| Reverse description | A bear passant to the left, the heraldic charge of Anhalt, occupies the central field beneath the date 1621 inscribed above in Arabic numerals. Below the bear, a heraldic device or ornamental element is visible. The design is struck on an irregular copper flan with slightly ragged edges, consistent with the emergency small coinage (Kipper und Wipper period) produced in the German states during the early Thirty Years War era. |
