| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing bust of Duke Wilhelm of Nassau, rendered in neoclassical style with the hair arranged in carefully delineated layered rows. The truncation of the neck bears the engraver's initials P. Z. The surrounding legend reads WILHELM HERZOG ZU NASSAU, running along the inner edge of the raised border. The fine relief portraiture and naturalistic hair treatment are characteristic of early 19th-century German die-engraving. |

| Reverse description | A spade-shaped heraldic shield, bearing the Nassau coat of arms, displayed upon an ermine mantle. The date of issue appears in the exergue, flanked by the mintmaster's initials C. T. The denomination legend KRONEN THALER is inscribed along the upper periphery within a raised border. The composition reflects the formal heraldic conventions of early 19th-century German state coinage. |
