| Obverse description | A crowned bear, the heraldic emblem of Anhalt-Bernburg, is depicted in left-facing profile, walking atop a decorative wall with an arched gateway visible at its base. The animal wears a crown upon its head and is rendered in high relief with considerable naturalistic detail. The legend PERRUMPENDUM (meaning 'must be broken through') arcs across the upper field in Latin characters, serving as the dynastic motto. The overall composition is bold and emblematic, characteristic of early eighteenth-century German princely coinage. |

| Reverse description | A large crowned quartered heraldic shield occupies the center of the reverse, bearing the complex arms of the Anhalt-Bernburg princely house with multiple quarters displaying eagles, bears, and other dynastic charges. The date is divided to either side of the shield, with '17' to the left and '27' to the right, while the mint master's initials 'II G' appear below the shield flanking the denomination fraction '1/3'. The legend VICTOR • FRIDERICUS • D • G • P • A • DUX • S • A • & • W • C • AS • C • D • B • & • S runs around the periphery in Latin, giving the ruler's full titulature. The inscription FEIN SILB appears in the lower exergual area, attesting to the fineness of the silver content. |
