The encircling Latin legend reads MARIA THERESIA IMPERATRIX GER, divided by the birth and death dates 1717 and 1780 flanking the portrait at mid-field. The issue year 1957 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the bust. The portrait is executed in a bold, high-relief medallic style characteristic of mid-twentieth century commemorative goldsmithing. |
