| Obverse description | The Brunswick running horse — the traditional heraldic symbol of the Duchy — depicted in profile bounding to the left, with flowing mane and tail, set upon a ground line within a plain inner circle. The circular legend surrounding the device reads CARL HERZOG ZU BR. U. LUEN., identifying the issuing ruler Charles II, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, with a decorative stop separating the inscription. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold, centrally placed denomination numeral I above the three-line inscription PFENNING / SCHEIDE / MÜNZE, denoting the coin as small change currency. The date appears in a single line beneath, followed by the mintmaster's initials C.V.C. in the lower field. Two decorative floral or foliate ornaments flank the numeral I in the upper portion of the field, adding symmetry to the otherwise typographic design. |
