| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the interlaced ducal cypher 'FJ' (for Francis Josias) in an elaborate baroque monogram composed of foliate scrollwork and ornamental flourishes. The cypher is surmounted by a ducal crown with arched bands and orb finial, rendered in the high-baroque decorative style characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German state coinage. The entire design is contained within a milled border. |

The date is divided across the lower field on either side of the orb. A curved legend arching above the orb identifies the issuing authority of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, the whole composition enclosed within a milled border. |
