| Reverse description | Crowned Prussian eagle displayed at center, its wings spread, superimposed over a trophy of crossed flags and cannons symbolizing military prowess. Below the eagle, a cartouche bearing the mintmark B divides the date, with the denomination legend arranged around the design indicating the coin's value as one-half Reichsthaler. The inscription 2 EINEN R: THALER signifies that two such pieces constitute one Reichsthaler. The composition is rendered in a formal baroque heraldic style consistent with Prussian coinage of the Frederician period. A toothed border encircles the reverse field. |
