| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the interlaced crowned monogram 'AW' (for August Wilhelm, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel), rendered in large Gothic lettering beneath an ornate royal crown with foliate decoration. The circular legend reads VON FEINEM SILBER with the date 1715 and mintmaster initials H H flanking the base of the monogram. The overall design is bold and occupies the full diameter of the flan, with a beaded inner border separating the monogram from the outer legend. |

| Reverse description | A spirited horse rearing and leaping to the left — the traditional heraldic symbol of Brunswick — depicted in high relief atop a grassy ground line. The circular legend PARTA TVERI arcs across the upper field. The fractional denomination 1/3 appears in an oval cartouche or tablet in the lower exergue below the horse, with a beaded border framing the entire design. |
