| Obverse description | Facing right, the laureate and draped bust of Emperor Joseph II is depicted at center, enclosed within a wreath of olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, the mint mark 'A' (Vienna) appearing at the bottom of the wreath. The circumferential legend, divided by the bust and wreath, reads IOSEPH · II · D · G · R · I · S · A · GE · REX · A · A · LO & M · H · D ·, representing the emperor's full Imperial and Royal titles in abbreviated Latin. The portrait is rendered in a neoclassical style characteristic of late 18th-century Habsburg coinage, with the emperor shown in civilian dress with a lace jabot. The field within the wreath is slightly concave, and the overall design reflects the influence of the Viennese engraving school under Joseph II's reign. |
