| Obverse description | Draped bust of Abbess Anna Dorothea facing right, her elaborate curled wig rendered in fine baroque detail, within a broad outer legend band. The bust is positioned centrally in the coin field with naturalistic sculptural relief characteristic of early 18th-century German medallic art. The circumferential legend, divided into two concentric arcs reading from bottom left and bottom right, records her full titles and the key dates of her birth, investiture, and death. |

| Reverse description | A celestial and terrestrial allegorical composition depicting zodiacal signs including a prominent scorpion, surrounded by radiating rays breaking through clouds, evoking divine light descending upon the earthly realm. An eagle soars in the sky above a panoramic view of the town of Quedlinburg with its distinctive abbey buildings. A curved legend band arches across the upper portion of the field, with the engraver's initials H.C.H. integrated into the design. |
