| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of Emperor Ferdinand I standing facing, clad in armour, the figure dividing the surrounding Latin legend. The initial letter I of IMPERATOR appears prominently between the emperor's feet in the lower field, a characteristic placement on this hammered ducat type. The legend is arranged in two arcs flanking the imperial figure. The execution reflects the robust, high-relief style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Austrian hammered gold coinage. |
