| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Frederick II (the Great), King of Prussia, facing right, rendered in high relief in the Baroque manner with elaborately styled hair tied with a ribbon. The truncation is adorned with a folded mantle. The peripheral legend FRIDERICUS BORUSSORUM REX runs along the upper and lower rim, separated by the bust, within a finely beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The Prussian crowned eagle, displayed with wings spread and head turned sinister, perches atop a pile of military trophies including cannons, drums, halberds, and standards arranged along a ground line, evoking Prussian martial glory. The date 1769 is divided across the upper field, with the figures flanking the eagle's crown. In the exergue, the Berlin mint mark 'A' appears between two rosette ornaments. The composition is rendered without a surrounding legend, the design filling the entire field within a beaded border. |
