| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing wig in the Baroque style. The portrait displays strong modeling of the facial features with the laureate wreath prominently crowning the head. The encircling Latin legend is divided by the truncation of the bust, and a small engraver's initial appears at the base of the truncation. A toothed border frames the entire design. |
