| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Matthias II facing right, wearing an imperial crown and ornate armor with decorative collar visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style characteristic of early 17th-century German gold coinage. The circumferential legend reads MATTHIAS II D G ROM IMP SEMP AVG HVN BOH REX, incorporating the date 1612 and the coronation date 24 IVNI within the inscription. The portrait displays strong individualized features with curled hair and a prominent beard, consistent with contemporary representations of the emperor. |
