| Obverse description | Equestrian portrait of Duke Eberhard Louis in military attire, depicted as commander-in-chief riding a rearing horse to the right, the duke shown in three-quarter profile wearing armour and a flowing cloak. A small orb device appears beneath the horse in the lower field. The surrounding circular legend reads EBERHARDVS. LVDOVICVS. D. G. DVX. WURT. ET. TECK. S. R. I. ARCHI. THES. ET. PRIN. HOHEN., separated by pellets and arranged along the milled border. The composition is rendered in high relief in a bold, late Baroque engraving style characteristic of early eighteenth-century German court medallic art. |

| Reverse description | Elaborate crowned heraldic achievement of the House of Württemberg occupying the entire reverse field, comprising a multi-quartered coat of arms displaying the traditional Württemberg stag antlers, the three black combs of Teck, and additional dynastic quarterings, all set within an ornate baroque cartouche with foliate mantling and scroll supporters. The crowned helm surmounts the shield, itself topped by a standing figure. The circular legend COM. MONT. DOM. IN. HEID. ST. ET. ACH. ANNO. 1710. runs along the periphery, with the date 1710 integrated into the inscription. The overall design reflects the elaborate heraldic conventions of the early eighteenth-century German princely courts. |
