| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair and whiskers, the portrait executed in the neoclassical style by Josef Daniel Böhm. The emperor is depicted as a young man, consistent with his early reign, wearing a laurel wreath. The encircling legend FRANC·IOS·I·D·G·AVSTRIAE IMPERATOR runs along the outer rim within a beaded border. The mint mark 'A' for Vienna appears in the lower field beneath the bust truncation. |
