| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Albrecht III facing right, wearing a flowing allonge wig in the late Baroque style. A small oval shield bearing the fractional value '1/6' is placed at the base of the truncation. The peripheral legend in Latin reads around the effigy, separated by stops, identifying the ruler by name and titles. The coin is bordered by a finely toothed inner rim. |

| Reverse description | A bold ornamental cross divides the field into four quarters, each containing a small shield of capped heraldic arms representing the dynastic territories of the House of Wettin. The date 1693 is divided by the foot of the cross in the lower field. The reverse legend, struck in Latin characters, references the Leipzig Foot standard of coinage, affirming the coin's place within the imperial monetary system. The whole is enclosed within a toothed border. |
