| Obverse description | Central shield bearing three horizontal fish, the arms of the Lordship of Reichenau, surmounted by a crowned double-headed eagle displayed as crest. The shield is flanked by decorative mantling or supporters rendered in low relief. The date 1740 appears in the lower field, divided by the base of the shield, reading '17 40', within a toothed or beaded border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this small billon pfennig appears uniface or bears only minimal design elements, consistent with the low denomination coinage of the Reichenau lordship of this period. The plain fields and absence of prominent reverse imagery are characteristic of minor German territorial issues of the early eighteenth century. |
