| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Frederick I, King of Prussia, facing right, wearing a laureate wig with flowing curls and armor adorned with a shield motif at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with finely detailed engraving characteristic of early 18th-century German coinage. The circular legend reads FRIDERICUS REX PORUSSIAE, separated by stops, running along the inner border of the coin. |
