| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, depicted as a shield charged with a silver grid or lattice pattern (the traditional Trier arms) set within an oval cartouche. The shield is surrounded by a beaded inner border, with a further outer beaded or dotted circle framing the entire design. No legend appears on this face; the heraldic device occupies the full field in a bold, unadorned style characteristic of small late 17th-century German ecclesiastical pfennig coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | CAROL CASPAR D G ARCH EP TREV |
| Reverse description | The denomination and date are inscribed in three lines across the central field, reading 'IIII' above 'PFEN' and the date '1672' below, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base. An outer beaded border frames the wreath. The lettering is rendered in bold Roman capitals typical of late 17th-century German minor coinage, with the legend providing a clear statement of face value and year of issue. |
