| Obverse description | Elaborate cursive cypher of the initials JF (for Johann Friedrich, Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt) in relief at centre, the interlaced letters rendered in an ornate calligraphic style. The monogram is flanked on either side by decorative foliate branches. Above the cypher, a princely crown with visible arches and jewelled band surmounts the composition, filling the upper field. |

| Reverse description | Five lines of bold Latin text fill the central field, reading the denomination and issuing authority: the numeral I at top, followed by PFENNIG, F.S.RUDOL, STADT.L., and MUNTZ, with the date 1761 along the lower exergue. The entire design is contained within a finely milled or grained inner border that runs around the full circumference of the reverse, giving the piece a crisp, structured appearance characteristic of small German territorial copper coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
