| Obverse description | Central field bears the interlaced crowned cypher 'AF' (for Adolphus Frederick) rendered as a bold monogram beneath a ducal crown. The legend 'V.G.G. H.Z.M.' (Von Gottes Gnaden Herzog zu Mecklenburg) is distributed around the periphery, with the date 1793 positioned in the exergue below the monogram. The design is executed in a plain, functional style characteristic of minor German States coinage of the late 18th century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a four-line inscription arranged across the central field, reading 'III / GUTE / PFENNINGE / I.H.L.', the latter being the mintmaster's initials. Four small asterisks are placed symmetrically in the angles of the legend, serving as decorative separators. The plain, typographic layout is consistent with contemporary German States small copper coinage, with no figurative devices. |
