| Reverse description | A naturalistic Imperial German eagle stands facing left with wings spread, its right talon resting upon a crowned heraldic shield bearing the Prussian coat of arms. The eagle is rendered in fine detail with individually articulated feathers, and the shield displays quartered armorial bearings beneath an imperial crown. A beaded inner border surrounds the composition. The legend DEUTSCHES REICH and the date 1913 arc across the upper field, while DREI MARK appears in bold letters along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Patterns struck for Prussian coinage in this period were rarely official Mint proposals — many were privately commissioned presentation pieces, struck at the Berlin Mint on behalf of collectors or court figures, and Schaaf's cataloguing of this series has revealed just how fragmented the authorization trail actually is. The Schaaf 113/G1 designation places this among a documented but tightly restricted group; surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce.
