| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Emperor Ferdinand I, clad in elaborate suit of armour, holding a sceptre in his right hand and resting his left hand on the pommel of a sword at his side. The figure stands on a small groundline and divides the encircling Latin legend, which is separated from the central field by a beaded inner circle. The treatment of the armour is rendered in fine hammered detail characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Habsburg coinage. |

| Reverse description | Crowned heraldic shield of Carinthia, displaying the characteristic panther device, centred within a beaded inner circle. The shield is surmounted by an ornate crown. The date appears at the top of the field, flanked by the encircling Latin legend which identifies the ruler's full royal and archducal titles. The overall composition is typical of Habsburg provincial gold coinage of the Klagenfurt mint. |
