| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of Frederick I, King of Prussia, facing right, wearing a long flowing wig and elaborately engraved cuirass with decorative shoulder pauldron. The portrait is executed in high relief in the Baroque manner, with fine detail in the hair, laurel wreath, and armor ornamentation.

| Reverse description | A crowned Prussian eagle displayed in flight occupies the upper portion of the field, with the motto SVVMCVIQVE (To each his own) arched above it. Below, four mining windlass or winding-gear supports are depicted above mine shafts, symbolizing the silver ore extraction from the ducal Magdeburg mines that provided the metal for this Ausbeute (mine-yield) coinage. The circumferential Latin legend records the occasion and date of the mining first-fruits offering, with the mintmaster's initials C•S at the end. |
