| Obverse description | Royal cypher of Frederick II (Friedrich Rex) rendered as an elaborate interlaced cursive monogram 'FR' in ornate baroque script, occupying the centre of the field and flanked by scrolling foliate flourishes. The monogram is surmounted by a large royal crown with visible arches and jewelled band, positioned at the top of the coin. The field is otherwise unadorned, with no peripheral legend, giving the design a bold and stately character typical of mid-18th-century Prussian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Five-line inscription in upright Roman capitals filling the entire field, reading the denomination as a fractional statement of the Reichsthaler. The numeral '24' appears at the top, flanked by decorative rosette or floral ornaments, followed by the words 'EINEN', 'REICHS', 'THALER' on successive lines, and the four-digit date '1754' below, with a mint mark 'F' at the foot of the coin also flanked by small ornaments. The composition is purely typographic with no figural elements, consistent with standard Prussian small-denomination billon coinage of the Seven Years' War era. |
