| Obverse description | Draped and armored bust of Holy Roman Emperor Karl VII facing right, with long flowing wig, set within a beaded inner circle. The imperial titles appear as a legend around the effigy in the field. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of mid-18th century German klippe coinage. |
