| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped bust of King Friedrich August II of Saxony in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy along the beaded border, reading FRIEDRICH AUGUST II * KOENIG VON SACHSEN. Below the truncation, a dagger symbol preceding the death date D.9.AUG.1854 commemorates the king's passing. The portrait is executed in the neoclassical tradition, with a plain field framing the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field displays a five-line commemorative inscription in bold capital lettering, enclosed within a wreath of finely rendered laurel or oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The text reads ER SAETE GERECHTIGKEIT UND ERNTETE LIEBE, a memorial tribute meaning 'He sowed righteousness and reaped love,' followed by the biblical citation HOS.X.12., referencing the Book of Hosea, chapter 10, verse 12. The wreath and inscription occupy the full field within the beaded border, with no exergue. |
