| Obverse description | Eleven-line memorial inscription filling the field, commemorating Christiane Eberhardine, Queen of Poland and Electress of Saxony, with her birth and death dates. The denomination numeral '2' within an oval cartouche, accompanied by the Groschen symbol, appears centrally, flanked by the mintmaster's initials. The layout is formal and text-heavy, consistent with early eighteenth-century Saxon commemorative coinage practice. |
