Obverse description Draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and coiffed in the Baroque style with curls cascading to the shoulder. The bust is shown with an ornate mantle decorated with a tortoiseshell or scale pattern, with a lace fichu visible at the neckline. The circumferential legend commences at approximately 7 o'clock and reads in Latin, abbreviating her imperial and royal titles. A fine toothed border runs along the rim.

Reverse description A displayed double-headed imperial eagle occupies the central field, each head crowned, with wings spread. Upon the breast of the eagle is an escutcheon divided between the arms of St. Anna on the left and the Austrian arms on the right. Two crossed mining hammers appear below the shield, nestled between the eagle's tail feathers, referencing the mining origins of this Ausbeute (yield) thaler. The circumferential legend, commencing at 12 o'clock, reads as an abbreviation for 'Sankta Annae Fundgruben Ausbaute Thaler in Niederösterreich,' followed by the date and the Roman numeral X denoting the value in Kreuzer.
