Obverse lettering FRIDERICVS II DVX SAXO-GOTHAN
(Translation: Frederick II Duce of Saxe and Gotha)
Reverse description The reverse is entirely occupied by a multi-line Latin funerary inscription arranged within the field, with no central pictorial device. The text records the birth and death of Frederick II in Roman numerals and Latin, structured in three sections headed NATVS, DENATVS, and REXIT. A circular legend runs along the upper periphery reading COGNATUS REDDITUS SEDERIBUS. The mint-master's initials A.H. appear in parentheses at the base of the inscription, and a beaded border frames the entire design.
