| Obverse description | Central field displays the Austrian fess shield flanked by the initials W and H (for Wiener Hausgenossen, the Vienna mint association), struck in hammered relief. A small shield bearing a cross appears within the surrounding legend. The circular Latin legend reads ARCHIDVX AV / STRIE followed by the date, referencing the Archduke of Austria title held jointly by Charles V and Ferdinand I. The overall composition is characteristic of early sixteenth-century Habsburg hammered silver coinage, with irregular flan and bold, Gothic-influenced die-work. |
