| Obverse description | Central field displays the elaborately interlaced crowned royal cipher of Frederick I of Württemberg, rendered in a decorative cursive script. A horizontal rule separates the monogram above from the denomination below, expressed as 'VI' in Roman numerals over the word 'KREUZER' in capital letters. The peripheral legend reads 'KÖNIGL.WÜRT.SCHEIDEMÜNZ.' encircling the design, identifying this as a Württemberg royal small change coin. The overall composition is bold and hieratic, typical of early nineteenth-century German small silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the oval quartered arms of the Kingdom of Württemberg, displaying the three stags' antlers and the three lions associated with the Württemberg dynasty, set within an oval shield. The shield is surmounted by a large royal crown and flanked on either side by crossed palm branches, symbolising honour and distinction. The date '1806' appears in the lower exergue beneath the shield. The design is rendered in a restrained neoclassical engraving style consistent with Württemberg coinage of the early kingdom period. |
