| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Holy Roman Emperor Matthias II facing right, wearing an elaborate imperial crown with arched bands and jeweled ornaments. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the lace ruff collar and armor decoration. A circular Latin legend runs along the full periphery of the coin, identifying the ruler by his imperial and royal titles. The portrait style is characteristic of early 17th-century Central European medallic art, with strong individualized facial features including a trimmed beard and prominent mustache. |
