| Obverse description | Equestrian portrait of Elector Frederick William (the Great Elector) in armour, depicted in a dynamic rightward gallop atop a caparisoned horse, brandishing a baton or commander's staff in his raised right hand. The horse rears over a prostrate double-headed eagle displayed in the lower field, symbolising the attainment of sovereignty over the Duchy of Prussia. The date 1657 appears in the exergue beneath the horse's hooves. The circular legend surrounding the design reads PROVIDENTIÆ HÆCDIVINÆ OBNOXIA, attributing the achievement to Divine Providence. |
