| Obverse description | Draped bust of Leopold Victor Johann, Count of Windisch-Grätz, facing right, with long flowing curled hair in the baroque style. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the drapery at the shoulder. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading continuously around the coin's periphery. The field is smooth and the coin is struck on a well-prepared flan characteristic of high-quality ducat coinage of the period. |
