| Obverse description | Within a rhombus klippe flan, a crowned royal cypher composed of the interlaced initials G, W, M, and B Z occupies the central field, surmounted by a princely crown. The cypher is framed by a wreath of laurel and olive branches, tied at the base with a ribbon. The date 1724 appears in the exergue below the wreath, incised into the field. The design is executed in low relief with a recessed border following the rhombus outline. |

| Reverse description | Within the rhombus klippe flan, an eagle displayed standing to the left holds a musket or long gun resting against its wing, with a laurel branch held in its beak or talon, symbolising the shooting prize theme. The eagle stands on a grassy mound within the central field. A two-line Latin legend in German surrounds the central device along all four sides of the raised border, reading continuously around the perimeter of the klippe. |
