| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Frederick August II of Saxony, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. The portrait is unadorned and naturalistically modeled in the neoclassical tradition. The circumferential legend reads FRIEDRICH AUGUST V.G.G. KOENIG V. SACHSEN, separated by a period, and is enclosed within a toothed border. The mint-master's initial F appears below the truncation in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The central device displays the crowned royal arms of Saxony — the quartered shield bearing the distinctive barry with a central diagonal bend — set upon an elaborate draped mantle with foliate and scroll supporters on either side. The crowned shield is surmounted by the Royal Saxon crown. The date appears in two parts flanking a decorative ornament at the base, with the mint-master's initial and the denomination indicator XIV EINE F. MARK arranged around the lower perimeter. The circumferential legend SEGEN DES BERGBAUS (Blessing of Mining) arcs around the upper field, all within a toothed border. |
