Obverse description Armored and draped bust of Duke Eberhard Louis facing right, with long flowing curled wig characteristic of the late Baroque period. The portrait displays finely engraved detail on the cuirass and drapery at the truncation. The Latin legend encircles the effigy, reading EBERH: LUD: D: G: DUX WURTEMB:, interrupted by the portrait. The coin's milled border frames the composition with a toothed edge.
