| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Leopold I facing right, with long flowing curled wig and armored shoulder visible beneath the mantle. The emperor's distinctive profile with prominent chin is rendered in high relief in the baroque style characteristic of late 17th-century Habsburg coinage. A circular beaded inner border frames the design. The legend LEOPOLDUS D G ROM IMP SE AV GE H B REX runs around the periphery, abbreviated for Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus Germaniae Hungariae Bohemiaeque Rex. |

| Reverse description | The elaborate crowned imperial double-headed eagle of the Habsburg dynasty displayed in the center of the field, with wings spread, each head crowned separately beneath an arched imperial crown above. The breast of the eagle bears the quartered arms of the Habsburg dominions on an escutcheon. The date 1705 appears at the top of the legend, with the mintmaster initials F.N. positioned in the lower exergue beneath the eagle. The peripheral legend reads ARCHIDUX AVST DVX BVR ET SILES, denoting Leopold's titles as Archduke of Austria and Duke of Burgundy and Silesia. |
