| Obverse description | Half-length armoured effigy of Archduke Ferdinand II facing right, wearing a crowned helmet and elaborate plate armour with jewelled ornaments, holding a sceptre over his right shoulder. The bust is rendered in the mannered style characteristic of late sixteenth-century Habsburg portraiture. The encircling legend reads in Latin, notably with the spelling AVSTIAE omitting the letter R. The crowned effigy occupies most of the coin's field, conveying the authority and martial dignity of the issuer. |
