Obverse description Elaborately ornate quartered royal arms on a baroque cartouche-style shield, surmounted by a crown. The four quarters display the arms of England (lions passant guardant), France (fleurs-de-lis), Ireland (harp), and Hanover (horse), arranged in the heraldic tradition of George II. The circular legend reads in Latin abbreviation, identifying the monarch as King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, and Arch-Treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire, with the date 1752 integrated into the legend.

Reverse description A detailed mining scene (Ausbeute) set within a landscape of fir trees and hills, depicting two miners flanking a pair of crowned columns bearing the initials 'KC' (König Carl / King Charles), with crossed mining hammers at the base of each column. A banner unfurls above inscribed PLVS VLTRA. In the lower exergue, a four-line inscription in German records that the König Carl mine came into yield (Ausbeute) in the fourth quarter of 1752, followed by the mintmaster's initials I.B.H. The scene is rendered in fine baroque engraving style typical of Hanoverian Ausbeute thalers.
