The armored pauldron is visible at the shoulder, with drapery over the cuirass. A Latin legend surrounds the effigy, interrupted by pellet stops, reading the ruler's full titulature.

| Reverse description | Central quartered shield of arms, surmounted by an ornate Electoral crown, displaying the four-fold heraldic arms of Saxe-Weimar. The date is divided by the shield to left and right in the field, and an oval cartouche at the base of the shield bears the fractional value 2/3 denoting the denomination. The surrounding Latin motto legend is separated into two halves by the crowned shield, with pellet stops between words. Fine milled denticles line the outer rim. |
