| Obverse description | A rampant lion passant reguardant, facing left, stands atop an ornamental pedestal with scrollwork base, rendered in high relief. The lion, which forms the arms of Reuss-Greiz, wears a small crown and displays a curling tail raised over its back. The circular legend around the upper field reads F.R.PL.G.L.M., an abbreviation for Fürstlich Reuß-Plauen-Greizer Landmünze, disposed in an arc above the central device. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the heraldic device to dominate the composition. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral 3 appears in bold relief within a circular cartouche at the center of the field, surmounted by an ornate foliate cross issuing from a crown atop the cartouche. Elaborate acanthus and oak-leaf scrollwork branches extend symmetrically to the left and right, filling the field in a decorative Baroque manner. The date 1787 is divided by the central device, with 17 to the left and 87 to the right, placed within the scrollwork at mid-field. The overall design is characteristic of late 18th-century German small coinage, combining heraldic ornamentation with a clear denomination statement. |
