| Obverse description | Central field bears the interlaced crowned cypher of Frederick II, Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, composed of elaborately intertwined script initials beneath a ducal crown. The monogram is rendered in a decorative baroque style with scrolling flourishes filling the field. No peripheral legend is present; the design relies entirely on the ornate royal cipher as the primary device. The coin surface shows the characteristic irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the period. |
