| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Carl of Saxony facing right, wearing armour with decorative collar, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly crude style characteristic of small copper coinage of the period. A beaded inner border surrounds the effigy. The circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, identifying the sitter by his titles. |
