A gold, circular coin depicts a right-facing profile in relief, with a hooked nose and voluminous curls layered under a laurel wreath. Arched Latin text, "GVLIELMVS III DEI GRA," is raised in a serif font along the upper edge. A beaded border frames the perimeter, set against a dark gray background.
