| Obverse description | The obverse displays the ornate quartered armorial shield of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, featuring lions and other heraldic charges across multiple quarters, surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by decorative mantle or drapery. The shield is rendered in fine relief with careful attention to heraldic detail. The Latin legend FRIDERICVS GVILIELMVS arcs around the upper periphery, identifying the reigning duke Frederick William. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the prominent denomination V THALER in large bold characters at the center of the field, with the date 1814 inscribed below and the mintmaster's initials F·R· beneath that. The circular Latin legend D·G· DVX BRVNSVICENS· ET LVNEBVRG· runs around the periphery, translating as 'By the Grace of God, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg.' Two small ornamental rosettes or pellets flank the central denomination. The overall layout is clean and typographic in character, typical of early nineteenth-century German gold coinage. |
