| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Emperor Francis II (Franz II) of Habsburg within a beaded border. A lengthy Latin legend encircles the effigy, identifying the sovereign as Roman Emperor, and King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia, as well as Archduke of Austria. The portrait is rendered in the neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Austrian coinage. The inscription reads in abbreviated Latin: FRANC·II·D·G·R·I·S·A·GER·HVN·BOH·REX·A·A· |
