Central field dominated by the interlaced royal cypher 'VF' (for Victor Friedrich) in large relief letters, surmounted by a princely crown. The monogram is rendered in a bold, formal style typical of German baroque coinage, with no surrounding legend. The plain field emphasizes the prominence of the crowned cypher. |

The denomination and issuer's abbreviated titles are presented in three horizontal lines across the central field, reading '3 / PFENNING / F.A.B.L.M.' (Fürst zu Anhalt-Bernburg, Landgraf und Markgraf), with the date '1745' inscribed below, flanked by small decorative stops. The layout is straightforward and utilitarian, characteristic of minor German pfennig coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

Victor II Friedrich ruled Anhalt-Bernburg for over four decades, but the principality's coinage was perpetually constrained by its modest territorial revenues and dependence on Saxon monetary conventions. Billon issues of this type circulated as the smallest practical denomination in a region where copper was considered too base for princely coinage but fine silver too expensive for everyday transactions. Mann 674 is among the more routinely encountered of his minor issues.
