| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Francis II facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The emperor is portrayed in a classical style with a plain truncation at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads FRANC·II·D·G·R·I·S·A·GER·HIE·HVN·BOH·REX, abbreviating his full imperial and royal titles. The mint mark appears in the lower field beneath the bust truncation. The portrait is characteristic of the engraving style of Théodore Van Berckel. |

| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a cruciform arrangement of four imperial crowns set at the cardinal points, joined by ornate foliate and scroll-work arms radiating from a central flaming escutcheon. A small lion passant appears at the base of the central motif. The date is placed in the upper portion of the field between the uppermost crown and the legend. The encircling Latin legend, reading from the upper right and continuing around the coin, records the archduke and ducal titles of Francis II. The overall composition is bold and symmetrical, characteristic of the Kronenthaler type. |
