| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination inscribed in four lines: 'II / MARIEN / GROSCH: / FEIN SILB' with the mintmaster initials 'S.P.H.' below, all within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads 'D G AVGVSTS WILHELMVS DVX BR & L' with the date appearing at the upper left of the legend. The overall design is plain and typographic, characteristic of small Brunswick silver coinage of the early eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a standing male figure, identified as the Wild Man (Wilder Mann), a traditional heraldic symbol of the House of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, depicted full-length in the center of the field holding a uprooted tree or club in his right hand, with vegetation at his feet. The numeral '2' appears in the lower field beneath the figure. The semicircular legend 'PARTA TVERI' arches above the figure, meaning 'To protect what has been gained,' serving as the dynastic motto. The milled edge and plain fields frame the bold, slightly crude relief typical of small Brunswick circulation silver. |
