| Obverse description | Elaborately interlaced FR royal cypher of Landgrave Frederick I occupies the central field, the letters formed with ornate Baroque flourishes and scrollwork. The monogram is surmounted by a large electoral crown with arches and orb, rendered in fine detail. A small six-pointed star appears below the cypher in the lower field. The entire device is contained within a finely milled border of radiating denticles. |

The design is encircled by a milled denticle border consistent with the obverse. |
