| Reverse description | A frontal architectural view of Schloss Sanssouci, the Rococo summer palace of Frederick the Great in Potsdam, dominates the central field, rendered in careful relief with its characteristic colonnaded facade and central dome clearly articulated. The terraced vineyard steps leading up to the palace entrance are depicted in the middle ground, flanked by sculpted garden figures on either side. The legend 'SANSSOUCI' is inscribed in the upper field above the palace, while 'POTSDAM' appears in the lower field below the architectural motif. The engraver's initial 'R' is positioned at the very base of the design beneath 'POTSDAM'. The date 1748, commemorating the palace's construction, is referenced in the lettering records of this issue. |
