| Obverse description | Central device features the quartered arms of the Abbey of Fulda displayed on a crowned shield, supported by a lion on the left and an eagle's wing on the right. A tall palm tree rises prominently from behind the shield, its fronds spreading across the upper field, with a radiant sun or celestial orb depicted above in the upper field. A partial Latin legend is inscribed along the right rim, reading SUB PO[NDERE], referencing the motto of the piece. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style with fine detail throughout. |

| Reverse description | Thirteen lines of Latin inscription filling the entire field, recording the full titulature of Bernhard Gustav, Abbot of Fulda, Archichancellor of the Holy Roman Empire for Germany and Gaul, Primate of the March of Baden and Hochberg, Coadjutor of the Cathedral Chapter of Campoido, Imperial Siegburg, and Canon of the Cathedral Churches of Cologne and Strasbourg. The date MDCLXXII (1672) appears in Roman numerals in the final line at the bottom of the inscription. The lettering is deeply and evenly engraved in a clear Roman capital style with stops between each abbreviated title. There is no surrounding border legend; the inscription occupies the full coin face within a milled rim. |
