| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany and Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, rendered in a neoclassical style. The portrait is unadorned and realistic, consistent with late Habsburg portraiture of the period. A lengthy abbreviated legend encircling the effigy reads from approximately the 7 o'clock position, expanding the titles: Ferdinandus, by the Grace of God, Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Salzburg, Prince of Eichstätt, Passau and Berchtesgaden, Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. |

The divided date is placed in the exergue below the coat of arms, split across the lower field in two parts. |
