| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a plain field occupied entirely by a four-line typographic inscription in Roman capital lettering, in the tradition of German Scheidemünze small-change coinage. The denomination III appears prominently at the top of the field, flanked by two small star ornaments as decorative stops. The second line reads PFENNIG, followed by the date 1747 on the third line, and the mintmaster's initials C·H·I· at the foot of the field. No pictorial devices are present; the composition is austere and legible, its simplicity in deliberate contrast to the finely engraved obverse. |

Adolphus Frederick II ruled Mecklenburg-Strelitz for over four decades, but pattern strikings from his reign are exceptionally scarce — this gold example of a base-denomination piece suggests a presentation or proof-of-die purpose rather than any serious proposal for circulating gold coinage of this value. The economics alone made that implausible; three pfennig in gold represented a fundamental mismatch between metal value and face value that no mint official would have overlooked.
KM#Pn8 is one of the few documented patterns attributable to this minor North German duchy's mid-18th century output.
