| Obverse description | Central field features the cursive script monogram 'E' of Duke Ernst I (Ernest I), rendered in an ornate calligraphic style and surmounted by a ducal crown. The crowned monogram is flanked on either side by sprays of oak branches, whose foliage extends to fill the field, framing the central device in a wreath-like arrangement. No peripheral legend is present; the design is purely emblematic, relying on the crowned cypher as the principal identifying element. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a three-line central inscription indicating the territorial authority, denomination, and date, enclosed within a plain linear border. The upper and lower periphery bear a continuous legend identifying the issuing state and the coin's status as local currency. The legend reads 'H. S. C. S.' (Herzoglich Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeldisch) above, and 'LAND MÜNZE' (land coinage) below, with '6 PFENNIG' and the year appearing in the central three-line arrangement. The overall layout is typical of early nineteenth-century German small-denomination billon coinage, with an unadorned typographic design. |
