| Obverse lettering | *IIII* MARIEN GROSCH: FEINSILB: I.A.P. GEORG·III·D·G·M·BR·FR·ET·HIB·REX·F·D·1771 (Translation: Georgius III Dei Gratia Magnae Britaniae Franciae et Hiberniae Rex Fidei Defensor) |
| Reverse description | A wild man (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic figure of the House of Brunswick, stands facing front in the center of the field, depicted as a bearded, leaf-crowned figure holding a uprooted pine tree as a staff in his left hand, with his right hand resting on his hip. The figure stands on a ground line, rendered in a robust engraving style characteristic of late 18th-century German coinage. The numeral 4, denoting the denomination in Mariengroschen, appears to the lower right of the figure. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the design, reading the titles of the Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg as Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. |
