| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Leopold I facing right, with long flowing hair characteristic of the late Baroque portrait style. The emperor is depicted in armored dress with an elaborate lace cravat visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and hair. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circular Latin legend surrounding the portrait within a milled outer rim. |
