| Obverse description | Draped bust of Frederick I facing right, wearing a long flowing periwig with elaborate curls cascading over the shoulders, and a lace cravat with decorative armor beneath. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine engraving detail characteristic of early 18th-century Swedish coinage. The legend arcs around the upper periphery of the coin, partially divided by the truncation of the bust at the lower field. |

| Reverse description | An eleven-line Latin commemorative inscription fills the entire reverse field, centrally arranged without a frame or border design. The text records the occasion of Frederick I's journey to Hesse in June 1731, invoking divine blessing upon his departure and safe return, with the date rendered in Roman numerals. The inscription is engraved in a clear Roman capital lettering style, occupying nearly the full surface of the die, consistent with the commemorative medal-coin tradition of the period. |
