| Obverse description | The rampant Brunswick horse leaping to the left occupies the central field, depicted in bold relief above a stylized ground line. The mane and tail are rendered with fine detail characteristic of late 17th-century German die-cutting. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, with the date 1676 appearing in the upper left arc of the legend, separated from the motto by a small rosette ornament. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is displayed in four lines of bold Roman lettering filling the central field, without an inner circle border: IIII / MARIEN / GROS. / FEIN.SIL., with small rosette stops flanking the numeral IIII. A continuous Latin legend naming the issuing duke surrounds the denomination in the outer border, with the text separated by pellet stops and punctuated by small floral ornaments. |
