| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Duke Adolph of Nassau facing left, with short hair and a distinctive moustache and goatee, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The engraver's signature F.KORN appears on the truncation of the neck. The circumferential legend reads ADOLPH HERZOG ZU NASSAU, separated from the portrait by a fine inner border. The coin is bordered by a raised beaded rim characteristic of mid-19th century German minted piedforts. |

| Reverse description | Plain field bearing a six-line dedicatory inscription in raised capital letters, centered within the coin's field, reading DEM / EDLEN FÜRSTEN / GEWIDMET / BEI / BESUCH SEINER / MÜNZE, commemorating Duke Adolph's visit to the Nassau mint. The legend translates as 'Dedicated to the noble prince upon his visit to his mint.' The reverse has no additional decorative elements, with the inscription occupying the majority of the field and the same raised beaded border encircling the design. |
