There are no published coins of Prince 3 with the queen wearing anything but a plain bonnet. It is most similar to Göbl IX/2, which has the same headdress for the queen, but is with Prince 4. It is also possible that these are known, but have been mistaken for Prince 4, as the ears of the boar are only apparent on close inspection.
