Portrait of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two bronze-colored coins with raised designs and text. The coin on the left features a man on horseback wearing a hat and coat, holding a stick or baton. The horse is rearing up on its front legs. The man and horse are in profile, facing right. A line of text encircles the coin along the top edge. Along the bottom edge appears to be a line, followed by "LISSABERG". The coin on the right depicts a man in military uniform wearing a hat and cape. He is kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding something straight up in the air with his right hand. The man appears to be surrounded by smoke and chaos. A line of text encircles the coin along the top edge. The bottom edge features "ROSBACH" and the date "1757". Both coins are bronze-colored, have a circular shape, and display a gradient background transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
