| Obverse description | Central field features the five-petalled rose of Lippe, the heraldic symbol of the county, rendered in relief within a beaded inner circle. The Latin legend LIPPE MUNTZ runs around the periphery, divided by the rose motif. The overall design is characteristic of early 18th-century German petty coinage. |

| Reverse description | The Roman numeral II, denoting the denomination of 2 Pfennig, is prominently displayed in the central field. Eight stylized floral and foliate ornaments are arranged symmetrically around the numeral, forming a decorative wreath-like border that fills the coin's field. The composition is unlettered and typical of the sparse reverse designs employed on minor copper coinage of the Lippe county in the early 18th century. |
