| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of Johann II, Prince of Liechtenstein, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and a short beard, occupying the central field. The portrait is of mature, naturalistic character consistent with the academic style of the late 19th century. A beaded border frames the design, with the circumferential Latin legend reading JOHANN II·FÜRST VON LIECHTENSTEIN distributed around the periphery. |
