| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of George III facing right, with naturalistically rendered hair falling in curls beneath the wreath. The encircling legend reads GEORGIUS III D.G. BRITANNIARUM REX F.D. in Latin script. Below the truncation, a small oval mint mark is visible in the field. The denomination indicator G 1/6 M. appears at the base of the bust, and the overall engraving style reflects the refined neoclassical portraiture typical of early nineteenth-century German coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned coat of arms of Brunswick-Lüneburg displayed centrally, encircled by the collar and motto of the Order of the Garter bearing the inscription HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. The surrounding legend references the issuer's titles as Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, with the date 1807 incorporated into the legend. The abbreviated inscription N.D.R.F. F.SILB. at the end of the legend denotes the fine silver standard according to the imperial coinage foot (Reichsfuß). The heraldic composition is executed in the formal baroque tradition characteristic of Hanoverian subsidiary coinage of the period. |
