| Obverse description | Plain field bearing a four-line centred inscription in raised capital Latin letters reading PROBE- / ABDRUCK / VON / KUPFER (meaning 'Trial strike in copper'), serving as the identification legend for this pattern piece. The field is otherwise unadorned, with a raised rim encircling the design. A small incuse diagonal slash mark appears above the inscription, likely a die-punch reference or cancellation mark. |

| Reverse description | Central design featuring the crowned dynastic family coat of arms of Anhalt alongside the smaller quartered state coat of arms, flanked on either side by a single oak branch. A two-line inscription at the top carries the duchy name and denomination, while the lower legend records the historically significant dates of the division and reunification of the Anhalt territories. The overall composition is heraldic in style, reflecting the commemorative nature of the issue. |
