While specific engravers are often not explicitly named on such issues, these coins were typically struck at the Imperial Mint in Berlin (mint mark 'A'). The obverse features a finely detailed bust of Prince Albert George, usually facing right, with his regal titles. The reverse displays the standardized Imperial German eagle,
