| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the barry of ten or and sable arms of ducal Saxony, surmounted by a ducal crown with elaborate arched crest. The shield is set within an ornate baroque cartouche with bold foliate and scroll mantling extending symmetrically to either side, filling the field. No peripheral legend is present on this face. The overall design is characteristic of mid-18th century German small coinage, with the heraldic device rendered in high relief. |

| Reverse description | Imperial orb displayed at center, consisting of a globus cruciger surmounted by a floriate cross and encircled by a beaded band, with the Roman numeral VI inscribed prominently across the lower portion of the orb. The date 1760 is divided to the left and right of the orb in the field, with the mintmaster's initials F and S flanking the base of the orb below. The coin edge shows a fine reeded border. The composition and layout are consistent with standard small German States billon coinage of the period. |
