| Obverse description | At center, the quartered shield of Hohenzollern-Hechingen — displaying the distinctive checky pattern of the Hohenzollern arms — surmounted by a princely crown with pendants. The circular legend reading FÜRSTENTH. HOHENZ. HECHING. runs along the periphery, separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. The design is rendered in a clean neoclassical style typical of mid-19th century German states coinage. |

| Reverse description | A three-line denomination inscription — numeral 3 above KREUZER above the date — is displayed prominently in the center of the field, fully encircled by a wreath of oak branches tied at the base with a small bow. The oak leaves and acorns are rendered in fine relief, and a beaded border frames the entire composition. The design is simple and elegant, consistent with contemporary South German states coinage conventions. |
