| Obverse description | Central field dominated by an elaborate interlaced script cypher 'FR' (Fridericus Rex) rendered in ornate Baroque calligraphic style, formed by the intertwining of the letters F and R with foliate and scrollwork flourishes. The monogram is surmounted by a large royal crown with arched bands and jewelled base. The rim is defined by a fine toothed or beaded border. No peripheral legend is present; the monogram fills the entire field. |
