| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Frederick William I facing right, rendered in high relief with elaborate curled periwig falling to the shoulder. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field, with the royal portrait exhibiting fine baroque engraving characteristic of early 18th-century Prussian coinage. The circular legend surrounds the bust, reading FRID: WILH: D • G • REX • BORUSS, identifying the king by his royal title as King of Prussia by the grace of God. The coin's border is defined by a continuous milled or beaded edge. |
