| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, a rampant lion facing left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of provincial German coinage. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle, reading MONE NOVA BENTH with the date 1659, though the coin was actually struck between 1680 and 1683. A small floral or pellet ornament is visible at the top of the legend border. The overall design is typical of hammered copper coinage from small German counties of the late 17th century. |

| Reverse description | The central field within a raised inner circle displays four vertical strokes (IIII) representing the denomination of 4 Pfennig, flanked by small dots arranged symmetrically above, below, and to each side. The surrounding border is decorated with a continuous ornamental pattern of heart-shaped or crescent motifs arranged in a ring, typical of provincial German copper coinage of the period. The design is simple and functional, emphasizing the face value with clarity. |
