| Obverse description | Central device depicts the bear of Anhalt-Bernburg, rendered in fine crosshatched relief, passant atop a crenellated castle wall, facing left. The bear wears a crown and is rendered in considerable detail, conveying the heraldic tradition of the principality. The central design is enclosed within a raised beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend reads FURSTL: ANHALT BERNB: CONV: M, separated by quatrefoil rosette ornaments, with the inscription running clockwise around the periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-line inscription in the field reading XX / EINE FEINE / MARCK, indicating the coin's fineness standard of 20 to one fine mark, with the date 1793 positioned below separated by a decorative scrollwork ornament. The entire central inscription is framed by a finely engraved laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow, its branches curving symmetrically upward to meet at the top of the field. The overall design is clean and typographic in character, consistent with late eighteenth-century German Konventionsthaler coinage. |
