| Obverse description | Central field bears a five-fold quartered coat of arms surmounted by an electoral crown, displaying the heraldic devices of Brandenburg-Prussia including the Hohenzollern eagle and other territorial emblems. The shield is rendered in high relief with finely detailed quartering. A circular Latin legend surrounds the arms, reading the ruler's abbreviated titles. The overall composition is characteristic of late seventeenth-century German milled coinage. |

The date appears divided at the upper portion of the field flanking the crown. A continuous Latin abbreviation legend encircles the central device, recording the ruler's full electoral and territorial titles.
