The bust is draped in armor with elaborate decorative detailing at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend FRIDERICVS BORVSSORVM REX runs along the inner rim, identifying the king of Prussia. The portrait is rendered in a bold, high-relief baroque style characteristic of mid-18th-century Prussian coinage. |
