| Obverse description | The prancing horse of Brunswick, a symbol of the Duchy, is depicted in left-facing profile at center, rendered with naturalistic detail characteristic of late 17th-century German coinage. The animal stands with forelegs raised above a ground line, its tail flowing behind. The encircling legend RUD · AUGUST · H · Z · B · U · arcs around the upper portion of the field, abbreviating the ruler's titles. The date 1684 is inscribed in the exergue below the ground line. The coin's periphery is bordered by a beaded inner circle. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is presented as a bold central inscription arranged in three horizontal lines reading III / MAR·EN / G·OS / GEN, spelling out 'III Mariengroschen' in abbreviated form. The surrounding circular legend, separated by pellets, reads · BR · LUNEB · LANDT · MUN · , abbreviating the titles of the principality of Brunswick-Lüneburg and identifying the coin as a territorial issue. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the milled coinage standards of the period. |
