Obverse description Crowned and armored bust of Emperor Ferdinand I facing left, depicted in three-quarter view with elaborate regalia including a crown and mantle. The bust occupies the central field, rendered in the characteristic style of mid-16th century Habsburg coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with the legend running along the outer periphery. The portrait conveys imperial authority in the prevailing Renaissance hammered coin tradition.
