| Obverse description | The obverse displays the heraldic arms of the Prince of Wales, featuring the distinctive three-feathered plume badge rising from a coronet at centre, accompanied by the German motto ICH DEIN in the field. The design is rendered in relief against a finely prepared field, with decorative heraldic mantling or supporting elements flanking the central device. The composition reflects the commercial token tradition of the Regency period, invoking royal imagery to lend authority to the private issue. The overall design occupies the full coin face within an outer border. |
