| Obverse description | The obverse field is entirely occupied by a nine-line Latin inscription in bold Roman capitals reading CAROLI / UTRIUSQUE / SICILIAE REGIS ET / MARIAE AMALIAE / REGIAE POLONIAE / PRINCIPIS SPON- / SALIA DRESDAE / ANNO / MDCCXXXVIII, commemorating the betrothal of Charles, King of the Two Sicilies, and Maria Amalia, Princess of Poland, celebrated at Dresden in the year 1738. The lettering fills the field from rim to rim without a portrait, presenting the dedication text as the sole decorative and informational element. The coin is struck with a fine milled border of beaded denticles encircling the entire periphery. The inscription references the dynastic union between the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and the Wettin electoral house of Saxony-Poland. |
