| Reverse description | Four crowned royal cyphers of Frederick William I ('FWR' monograms) are arranged in a cruciform pattern around a central medallion containing the Prussian eagle displayed, the whole forming an elaborate interlaced design. Each cypher is surmounted by a royal crown, and the composition is executed in a sophisticated Baroque style with decorative scrollwork connecting the elements. The circumferential Latin legend PRO DEO ET MILITE, meaning 'For God and the Soldier,' runs along the upper rim, while the date 1737 appears in the lower portion of the legend. The overall design reflects the martial and religious ethos of the Prussian monarchy under Frederick William I. |
