| Reverse description | The reverse displays a predominantly plain, highly polished gold field with visible surface scratches and wear consistent with the coin's age. In the upper central area, a small rectangular cartouche bears a Prussian eagle in high relief, its wings spread and details rendered with fine workmanship. Below the cartouche, the fineness numeral '900' is struck in bold upright figures, confirming the gold standard of .900 fineness. The overall design is minimal and diagnostic of a pattern or trial strike, intended to test the planchet and gold composition rather than present a finished reverse design. |
