| Obverse description | Central device features the Imperial Austrian double-headed eagle displayed, each head crowned separately and surmounted by a larger Imperial crown, with the Habsburg dynastic shield on the breast. Below the eagle, two crossed military standards or banners are depicted, their drapery spread across the lower field, evoking the coin's military issue character. The circular legend MONET · AER · EXERCIT · CAES · REG · runs along the upper periphery in Latin capital letters, separated by dots. The overall composition is bold and relief-struck in a utilitarian military style consistent with emergency coinage of the period. |
