Obverse description Laureate and draped bust of Frederick William III facing right, with a wreath of laurel leaves tied at the back of the head and hair rendered in fine parallel strands. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief against a smooth field, displaying a naturalistic neoclassical style characteristic of early 19th-century Prussian coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circular legend reads FRIEDR WILHELM III KOENIG VON PREUSSEN, distributed around the upper and lower periphery.

Reverse description A crowned Prussian eagle displayed, facing left in a heraldic posture, with wings spread wide and the head turned to its right. Military trophies — including a cannon, cannon balls, and captured weapons — are arranged beneath the eagle, symbolising Prussian martial victory. The denomination 5 THALER appears in the upper field above the eagle. The date 1815 is inscribed in the lower exergue, with the Berlin mint mark A positioned between the digits. A beaded inner border encircles the entire reverse composition.
