| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Duke Adolphus Frederick III of Mecklenburg-Strelitz facing right, with long flowing curled wig in the Baroque style. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the armor and lace cravat at the neck. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer border within a beaded inner ring, with the initials I.C.A. engraved in the lower field below the truncation, likely referencing the die cutter or a mint official. |
