| Obverse description | Central field displays an elaborately detailed eleven-fold quartered coat of arms of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, surmounted by a crowned helmet with ornate mantling and crest, flanked by decorative scrollwork. The arms incorporate the multiple heraldic quarterings of the ducal house, rendered in fine relief. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads FRIDERIC*ULRIC*DUX*BRUNSUIC*ET*L, separated by rosette stops, without the customary D. G. (Dei Gratia) abbreviation in the titulature. |

| Reverse description | The Wild Man (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic emblem of Brunswick, is depicted standing facing, his body covered in foliage and fur, crowned with a wreath of leaves, and grasping a tall uprooted tree trunk in his left hand while his right arm rests akimbo at his side. The figure stands within an inner circle against a plain field. The surrounding Latin legend DEO*ET*PATRIAE*ANNO*1614 encircles the design, incorporating the date of issue, with rosette stops separating the words. |
