| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Ernst Johann von Biron facing right, depicted in armored or mantled attire with visible detail to the drapery and shoulder. The effigy is rendered in a baroque portrait style typical of mid-18th century German ducal coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the portrait, running along the rim of the coin field. |
