| Obverse description | Draped bust of Frederick August I facing right, depicted with a long curled wig typical of the Baroque period, wearing armor with a lace cravat visible at the collar. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and drapery. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, reading the ruler's titles as Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. The field is slightly convex, consistent with milled Saxon coinage of the early eighteenth century. |
