| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the large interlaced royal cypher 'G' of Grand Duke George, rendered in an ornate cursive style. The monogram is surmounted by a ducal crown with arched bands and beaded ornamentation. The entire design is set within a plain field, bordered by a fine dentillated rim. No legend or inscription accompanies the monogram. |

| Reverse description | Three-line denomination inscription arranged in the center of a plain field: the numeral '1' on the uppermost line, 'PFENNIG' on the second line, and the date '1838' on the third line, all in bold serif lettering. The reverse is unadorned save for a dentillated border encircling the edge. The stark, unembellished layout is characteristic of minor coinage of the German states in the mid-nineteenth century. |
