| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Albert of Saxony facing right, rendered with finely detailed curly hair and a full beard in a high-relief sculptural style. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower center, with the mint mark 'E' appearing below in the lower field. The circumferential legend reads ALBERT KOENIG VON SACHSEN, separated from the toothed border by a raised rim. The portrait is executed in a naturalistic late 19th-century academic style characteristic of German Imperial coinage. |
