| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Emperor Matthias II facing right, wearing an elaborate royal crown, with a prominent lace ruff collar visible at the neck. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the bold early Baroque style characteristic of Habsburg imperial coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading MATTHIAS II D G H VNGARIAE REX ET BOHEMIAE REX, identifying the emperor by name and his royal titles. |
