| Obverse description | Central field features an ornate crowned royal cypher composed of intertwined letters 'W' forming an elaborate script monogram, surmounted by a princely crown with visible arches and pearls. The cypher is rendered in a flowing, decorative calligraphic style with elaborate flourishes and curling serifs extending into the field. The coin rim is bordered by a finely milled or beaded edge. No peripheral legend is present; the entire design is devoted to the monogram device. The overall style is consistent with late 18th-century German States heraldic engraving. |

Additional small floral or cross ornaments appear in the upper field flanking the numeral. The lettering is bold and well-struck in a serif roman typeface. The rim is bordered by a beaded or milled edge consistent with the obverse. |
