| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned royal cypher of Grand Duke Georg of Mecklenburg-Strelitz occupying the central field, consisting of an interlaced cursive 'G' monogram surmounted by a elaborate ducal crown with arched finial and beaded detailing. The monogram is rendered in bold relief with graceful interlaced strokes. The coin border is defined by a continuous beaded rim. No peripheral legend is present; the design is entirely dominated by the crowned cypher. |

A single small dot appears below the date line. The design is deliberately austere, with no surrounding legend or ornamental devices. The coin is bordered by a uniform beaded rim consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mecklenburg-Strelitz was among the smallest and most financially constrained of the German states, which makes a gold pattern striking for a base-denomination pfennig all the more unusual. Patterns of this kind were typically produced as presentation pieces for the ruling court or as technical proofs for mint records — not as prototypes for any genuine circulation plan. No gold pfennig coinage was ever authorized for issue in the duchy.
The 1838 date places this under Georg (George), Grand Duke from 1816 until his death in 1860. The .986 fineness is consistent with presentation-quality gold work from the period.
