| Obverse description | Central field features the cantonal arms of Appenzell Innerrhoden — a standing bear passant — displayed within a Spanish-shaped shield set inside an ornate oval cartouche with scrollwork surround. The shield and cartouche are rendered in a Baroque style typical of early 18th-century Swiss cantonal coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the central device. The peripheral legend reads ⁕ · MONETA · APPENZ : in Latin capital letters, distributed around the outer rim. |

| Reverse description | A bold ornate cross with decorative terminations fills the central field, its four arms extending to an inner circle that divides the legend. The quadrants formed by the cross are plain. The peripheral Latin legend DEVS · EXUDI * ·17 ⁕ 38 ⁕ — an abbreviated invocation meaning 'God hear [us]' — encircles the design, with the date 1738 incorporated into the legend. The overall composition is characteristic of small Swiss cantonal billon coinage of the early 18th century. |
