| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Frederick August I, depicted in armour with an ermine-trimmed mantle and a plumed hat, holding a sword upright against his right shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style with fine detailing on the chainmail and fur trim. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the coin's rim, interrupted at the base by the truncation of the bust. |
