| Obverse description | Armored bust of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol facing right, depicted in three-quarter length wearing elaborately etched plate armor with a crowned helmet and holding a scepter in his right hand. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the gorget, pauldrons, and breastplate, characteristic of late Renaissance Habsburg numismatic portraiture. A beaded inner border frames the effigy, with the Latin legend running clockwise around the periphery within a rope-style outer border. |
