| Obverse description | Crowned cursive script monogram of Frederick II ("F") occupying the central field, rendered in an elaborate calligraphic style beneath a large ducal crown with jewelled band and arched top. The monogram fills the majority of the flan, with no surrounding legend. The execution is characteristic of mid-18th century German princely coinage, emphasizing the ruler's cipher as the principal device. |
