| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Frederick II (Frederick the Great) facing right, with flowing hair tied at the nape and an elaborately draped truncation. The portrait is rendered in a refined Baroque style typical of mid-18th-century Prussian coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads FRIDERICUS BORUSSORUM REX, separated from the portrait by a toothed inner border. The field is plain, with no additional ornament. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is expressed entirely in bold Roman and Arabic lettering arranged across five horizontal lines in the field: the Roman numeral VI at the top flanked by six-pointed star ornaments, followed by EINEN, REICHS, THALER, and the date 1756, with the Berlin mint mark A centered below flanked by small star ornaments. The design is purely typographic, without pictorial devices, and is framed by a toothed inner border with a reeded outer rim. |
