| Obverse description | Nine lines of Latin legend fill the entire coin field in a neat, evenly spaced arrangement, with no central device. The inscription records the titles and coronation details of Franz II, including his roles as King of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, and Elected King of the Romans, culminating in the date of his coronation at Frankfurt rendered in Roman numerals (XIV IVL MDCCXCII). The lettering is rendered in a clean, Roman serif style characteristic of late 18th-century German commemorative coinage. There is no border legend; the inscription is the sole decorative and informational element of the obverse. |
