| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Frederick August III facing right, with long flowing wig rendered in fine detail. The portrait is rendered in a refined late-Baroque style typical of late 18th-century German coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading FRID·AUG·D·G·DVX·SAX·ELECTOR·&·VICARIUS·IMPERII. The coin field is smooth, and the entire design is contained within a finely milled border. |

| Reverse description | A displayed Imperial double-headed eagle with spread wings fills the reverse field, the Saxon crowned coat of arms emblazoned on the eagle's breast. The mintmaster's initials IEC appear below the shield, flanking the date, which is divided by the fractional denomination 1/3, reading 17-90 above and 1/3 below. A Latin legend surrounding the eagle reads XL·EINE·MARC·F., indicating the fineness standard of 40 pieces to the mark. The design is enclosed within a milled border. |
