| Obverse description | Armored bust of Johann Franz Trautson facing right, wearing a ruffled collar and elaborately decorated cuirass, within a beaded inner circle. The circular legend IO FRANCISCVS TRAVTHSON runs around the periphery in Latin capital letters. The portrait is rendered in the robust mannerist style typical of early seventeenth-century Austrian hammered gold coinage. The flan shows characteristic irregular edges consistent with hand-hammered production. |
