| Obverse description | Rampant lion to left within the field, struck in the bracteate tradition on thin silver planchet. The date is divided by the mintmark letter B below the lion, with the numeral digits flanking the letter, as seen in the example lettering '16B34'. The design is rendered in a crude but characteristic late-medieval hammered style typical of small Brunswick municipal coinage of the mid-seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | Blank reverse, consistent with the bracteate technique in which the design pressed through from the obverse die leaves only an incuse mirror impression on an essentially uninscribed reverse field. |
