| Obverse description | Crowned ornate cartouche bearing the quartered arms of Wied-Neuwied, displaying an eagle in the first quarter and vertical barry stripes in the second quarter, with an additional smaller escutcheon at the base. The initials G. W. (Graf zu Wied) appear in the upper field flanking the crown, one letter to each side. The overall design is rendered in a Baroque heraldic style typical of small German states of the mid-eighteenth century. |

The date 1753 is divided and placed at the lower left and right of the wreath border, flanking the central design. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century South German and Rhenish minor coinage. |
