| Obverse description | Central field features an elaborate interlaced ducal cypher, composed of the intertwined initials of Duke Anton Ulrich rendered in an ornate Baroque script monogram. The cypher is surmounted by a large princely crown with prominent arches and fleurons. The overall design occupies the full field, with no surrounding legend, reflecting the commemorative and courtly character of the issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a six-line Latin commemorative inscription in Roman numerals and lettering, recording the birth and death dates of Duke Anton Ulrich of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The legend reads NATUS XVI. MAII. M.DC.XXVII / OB: XXVI. IAN / M.DCC.IV, meaning 'Born 16th May 1627, Died 26th January 1704.' In the lower portion, the mintmaster's initials HCH flank a small beaded oval cartouche bearing the denomination 2 / PF. The inscription fills the entire field in a plain, utilitarian typographic style characteristic of small German commemorative pfennig issues. |
