Obverse description Central field features the rampant lion of Reuss, depicted in heraldic style facing left with raised forepaw and stylized mane, rendered in low relief. A partial circular legend surrounds the device, reading FÜRSTH. REUSS LOBENST., identifying the principality of Reuss-Lobenstein. The overall design is characteristic of early nineteenth-century German small-state coinage, with a plainly struck field and minimal adornment.

Reverse description The reverse bears a straightforward denominational inscription arranged in three horizontal lines across the central field: the numeral 3 at the top, followed by PFENIGE on the second line, and the date 1807 below. A lower legend reads LANDMÜNZ flanked by asterisks, indicating the coin's status as a regional land currency. The design is purely typographic, devoid of additional ornament, reflecting the utilitarian character of this small-denomination circulation piece.
