| Obverse description | Veiled draped bust of Empress Maria Theresa facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed widow's veil cascading over the shoulders. The effigy occupies the central field and is surrounded by the Latin legend along the periphery. The portrait reflects the mature, widowed image of the empress adopted on Austrian coinage after 1765. |

| Reverse description | Central oval shield bearing the quartered arms of the Duchy of Milan and the Habsburg territories, featuring the Visconti biscione serpent and the imperial eagle in the quarters, with a small central escutcheon. The shield is surmounted by an imperial crown with cross finial, and flanked below by two crossed branches — one laurel and one palm — forming a decorative spray. The circular Latin legend names Maria Theresa as Duchess of Milan, with the mint date appearing to the right of the shield. |
