| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Ferdinand II facing right, wearing a ruff collar and armor with an ornate gorget, rendered in high relief in the Baroque style. The date 1640 appears in the lower field, divided by the bust. The encircling legend reads FERDINANDVS II D G ROM IMP SE AV G HV BO REX, interrupted at the base by the portrait. The coin's broad flan is bordered by a beaded inner circle and a milled rim, characteristic of large double thaler production at the Graz mint. |
