| Obverse description | The obverse features the leaping Brunswick horse (Sachsenross), depicted in profile bounding to the right across a ground line, rendered in low relief. The dynastic emblem is the central design element occupying the majority of the field. A Latin legend encircles the periphery, reading GEORG T. N. CAROLI D. BR., identifying the issuing duke. The overall style is characteristic of early nineteenth-century German minor coinage, with a plain, unadorned field surrounding the heraldic motif. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination and territorial identification in three lines of bold Latin lettering within a central circular cartouche: VI above PFENNIG, with the date of issue inscribed below. The surrounding legend HERZOGTH. BRAUNSCHW. runs along the outer periphery, separated from the central inscription by a raised inner circle. The design is strictly typographic, with no pictorial elements, consistent with the utilitarian style of contemporary Brunswick small coinage struck at the Clausthal Mint. |
