| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Francis II facing right, with flowing hair tied at the nape and a laurel wreath bound with ribbon. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine neoclassical detail, presenting a youthful imperial profile. The encircling Latin legend reads FRANC · II · D · G · R · IMP · S · A · GER · HIE · HUN · BO · REX ·, invoking his full imperial and royal titles. The legend is separated from the toothed border by a narrow rim. The field is smooth and slightly concave, characteristic of Austrian gold coinage of the period. |
