| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of Emperor Ferdinand II facing right, depicted with a short beard and moustache, wearing elaborately engraved plate armor with a prominent gorget and a chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece across the chest. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German goldsmith work. A circular beaded inner border frames the portrait, with the Latin legend reading FERDINAND II D GRO IM S A G H B REX O distributed around the periphery. |
