| Obverse description | Square klippe flan with a beaded inner circle enclosing a right-facing draped bust of Emperor Rudolf II, wearing a ruff collar and armour with a shield on the breastplate. The emperor is depicted with a short beard and curly hair in the Renaissance portrait style. The Latin legend surrounding the bust reads RUDOLPHUS II D G R IM S AV GE HB O REX, identifying him as Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. Three pellets or a rosette appear at the base of the portrait, serving as a mintmaster's mark. The design fills the circular inner field set within the characteristic diamond-shaped klippe planchet. |
