| Obverse description | The heraldic horse of Brunswick, depicted in a dynamic rearing posture to the left, occupies the central field atop a decorative floral ground line. The horse is rendered with fine detail in its mane and musculature, consistent with the regional dynastic emblem. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device along the periphery. At the base, below the ground line, the mintmaster's initials A·C·B appear within a cartouche. The coin exhibits a reeded border characteristic of milled coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold, multi-line denomination inscription arranged across the field reading VIII / GUTE / GROS. / L·M, with the date 1759 in the lower portion. Decorative rosette or star ornaments are placed at the four corners flanking the central inscription, lending a symmetrical and formal appearance to the design. The mintmaster's initials L·M appear on a dedicated line above the date. The entire design is contained within a reeded border, with no additional pictorial elements, placing full emphasis on the typographic value statement. |
