| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Frederick II (Frederick the Great) facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail including a prominent aquiline nose and period military dress visible at the truncation. The circumferential legend reads FRIDERICVS BORVSSORVM REX, separated from the portrait by a beaded inner border. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the bust to serve as the sole focal point of the obverse design. |
