| Obverse description | Central field features an elaborate interlaced cypher of the initials 'WA' (for Wenzel Anton, Count of Kaunitz-Rietberg) in baroque script, surmounted by a comital crown with prominent arches and fleurons. The monogram is rendered in high relief against a plain copper field. The coin's rim is encircled by a fine dentilated border. The date 1766 appears divided around the lower portion of the monogram. No peripheral legend is present on this face. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the large numeral 'I' above the abbreviated denomination 'PFEN' in bold raised lettering, all enclosed within a raised inner circle. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle reading 'I PFEN RITBERGISCHE.LAND.MUNTZ*', denoting this as an official land coinage of Rietberg. The outer rim is defined by a continuous dentilated border. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, typical of minor German territorial copper coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
