| Beschrijving keerzijde | A classically draped allegorical female figure, personifying Matrimony or Felicity, is depicted seated three-quarters to the left in the central field, resting upon an ornate throne. In her extended right hand she holds a small cross, while her left arm rests upon a flaming cornucopia or torch set upon the throne's arm, symbolising prosperity and divine blessing. The surrounding peripheral legend, framed by a beaded border, reads *QVINTVM·MATRIMONII·LVSTRVM·CELEBRANT·XXIV·APRILIS·MDCCCLXXIX, commemorating the silver wedding anniversary of 24 April 1879. The design is executed in the refined neo-classical medallic style characteristic of Anton Scharff's work at the Vienna Mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Franz Joseph and Elisabeth had been married twenty-five years by 1879, though the union had long since become a matter of dynastic obligation rather than domestic comfort. Elisabeth spent much of the decade abroad, famously avoiding Vienna for months at a time. The jubilee was the court's occasion, not the couple's.
The coin was a commemorative issue rather than a circulating piece, struck for presentation and sale to the public — a practice the Vienna Mint had refined into a minor revenue stream by the 1870s. The X# prefix in the reference confirms its non-circulation status.
