| Obverse description | Armored bust of Augustus II (the Strong) facing right, wearing a laurel wreath and elaborate plate armor decorated with studs, with long flowing curled hair. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style typical of early 18th-century Saxon coinage. The circular Latin legend reads AUGUST9 D G REX ET ELECTOR, identifying him as King by the Grace of God and Elector. The field is smooth and the legend is separated from the toothed border by a fine inner rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the large royal AR cipher of Augustus Rex, formed by an interlaced A and R monogram, surmounted by an open electoral crown.

Below the monogram, within a cartouche, appears the denomination 2/3, flanked by the mintmaster's initials EP and H. The mintmark S (for Leipzig) appears at the bottom of the field. The circular legend MONETA SAXONICA runs around the periphery, separated by small floral stops, within a toothed border. |
