| Reverse description | The denomination is expressed in four lines across the central field reading '30 / EINEN / THALER / 1818', with the mint mark 'A' for the Berlin Mint positioned below in the lower field. Two small six-petalled rosette ornaments flank the numeral '30' at the upper left and upper right, serving as decorative stops. The lettering is rendered in bold serif capitals with a clear, legible layout typical of Prussian silver coinage of the reform period. The plain field provides strong contrast to the incuse legends. |

| Additional information |
This 1818 pattern was struck during the prolonged debate over Prussia's post-Napoleonic monetary reform, a process that would not resolve into the unified Prussian thaler system until 1821. Frederick William III personally took an interest in the redesign of the coinage, and multiple competing pattern types were submitted for royal approval in the years immediately following the Congress of Vienna. KM# Pn11 is one of the survivors of that audition process — a denomination that was ultimately abandoned before regular issue.
