| Obverse description | The rampant lion of Brunswick facing right, depicted in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The lion is shown in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style characteristic of Kipper-period emergency coinage, with its forepaws raised and tail curled upward. A small numeral or mintmaster's mark appears below the lion at the base of the field. |

| Reverse description | Denomination and date arranged in four horizontal lines across the field, reading II / PFEN / NING / 16 21, with the final two digits of the date split across the last line. Small rosette or ornamental stops flank the numeral II at the top. The legend is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the crude hammered fabric typical of Kipper coinage struck during the currency crisis of 1621. |
