| Obverse description | Draped bust of Friedrich August II (Augustus III as King of Poland) facing right, depicted with long curling hair and armored shoulders, within a beaded border. The effigy is rendered in high relief in a baroque portrait style typical of early 18th-century Saxon coinage. The circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading D.G.FRID.AUG.REX.POL.DUX.SAX.ARCHI.& ELECTOR., identifying the ruler as King of Poland, Duke of Saxony, and Arch-Chancellor and Elector. |
