Ta moneta okolicznościowa, znana również jako "Król wezwał", upamiętnia setną rocznicę odezwy króla Fryderyka Wilhelma III "Do mojego ludu" we Wrocławiu, która doprowadziła do wypowiedzenia wojny napoleońskiej Francji. Charakterystyczny orzeł trzymający węża symbolizuje opór Prus wobec obcej dominacji Francji. Motyw ten różni się od standardowego orła heraldycznego i jest jednym z rzadkich wyjątków wśród monet okolicznościowych Kaiserreich.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This commemorative coin, also known as “The King Called”, marks the centenary of King Frederick William III’s appeal “To My People” in Breslau, which lead to the declaration of war against Napoleon’s France. The featured distinctive eagle clutching a snake, symbolizes Prussia’s resistance to France's foreign domination. This motif differs from the standard heraldic eagle and is one of the rare exceptions among the Kaiserreich commemorative coins.
