| Obverse description | Central field features the interlaced cursive royal monogram AFC (for Alexius Friedrich Christian) rendered in elaborate script, occupying the majority of the coin's face. Surmounting the monogram is a detailed ducal crown with visible arches, jewels, and beaded band, positioned centrally at the top of the field. The design is unencumbered by any peripheral legend, allowing the crowned monogram to serve as the sole decorative and identifying element. The engraving style is characteristic of early 19th-century German states coinage, with fine cursive strokes giving the monogram an elegant, calligraphic quality. |
