| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Ernest Frederick III Charles facing left, wearing a curled wig and armored shoulder with lace cravat, rendered in high relief in the Baroque manner. The effigy occupies the central field with considerable depth of modelling. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait reading ERN.FRID.CAR.D.G.DVX.SAXON., abbreviating the duke's name and titles. The legend is separated from the reeded rim by a narrow border. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-18th-century German princely coinage. |
