The effigy occupies the central field, with the king's abbreviated name and title forming a continuous legend around the periphery. The inscription reads FRIEDR. WILHELM III KOENIG VON PREUSSEN, commencing at the lower left and continuing clockwise. The portrait is of neoclassical style, with close-cropped hair and a plain truncation. |

A semicircular legend arches across the upper portion of the field. The overall design is characteristic of early nineteenth-century German taler coinage, combining clear typographic elements with simple heraldic framing. |
