| Obverse description | Allegorical seated female figure, representing Prussia, facing left within a finely engraved laurel wreath border. The figure is draped in classical robes and extends her right arm outward, while a crowned Prussian eagle stands at her side bearing a shield with the royal cipher. Various symbols of abundance and civic virtue are arranged at the base of the composition. The overall design is executed in a refined neoclassical style characteristic of early 19th-century German medallic art. No legend appears on the obverse; the monogram FRW is associated with Friedrich Wilhelm (Frederick William III). |
