| Obverse description | Uniformed military bust of Frederick William III facing right, depicted in high relief with finely detailed hair curling over the forehead. The king wears a heavily decorated military uniform with an elaborately embroidered collar, epaulettes, and what appears to be the Iron Cross at the chest. The circular legend is divided to either side of the portrait, reading FR. WIL H. III to the left and K. V. PREUSS. to the right. The portrait is rendered in a neoclassical style with careful attention to the texture of the uniform and the naturalistic treatment of the facial features. |
