| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large crowned EA cypher (monogram of Ernest August), the interlaced letters rendered in an elegant calligraphic style beneath a princely crown. The numeral '6' appears to the right of the monogram, denoting the denomination. Below the monogram, three dots or pellets are arranged in a horizontal row in the lower field, likely serving as a mintmaster's or die-cutter's mark. The design is unframed, with no surrounding legend on this face. |

| Reverse description | Four-line inscription occupying the central field, reading the denomination and issuer's title, with the date 1721 on the lowest line. The legend encircling the reverse reads 'FVRST: OSNABR: LAND. MVNTZ.' (Fürstlich Osnabrückische Landmünze, meaning 'Princely Osnabrück territorial coin'), arranged around the periphery. The central inscription reads 'VI / PFEN / NING / 1721', clearly stating the value and date in a stacked format typical of small German Pfennig coinage of the early eighteenth century. The edge of the coin shows a fine milled or reeded border. |
