| Reverse description | Elaborate quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of the Hohenzollern territories — including the Brandenburgian eagle, the Sceptre of Brandenburg, the griffin of Pomerania, and the lion of Cleves among other quarterings — surmounted by a ducal crown. The date 16-39 is divided across the flanks of the shield in the field. The coin bears the mintmaster's initials D K at the base of the shield. The circumferential Latin legend reads MONE: NOVA AUREA DUCIS PRUSSIÆ • D K 16 39, identifying this as the new gold money of the Duke of Prussia, struck at Königsberg. |
