| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Maria Theresa facing right, depicted in mature effigy with curled hair and a plain veil without pleats, set within a beaded border. The truncation of the bust is clearly defined, showing lace-trimmed drapery. The encircling Latin legend commences at the top of the field and reads continuously around the portrait. The portrait style reflects the later, more austere representation of the Empress characteristic of her coinage after 1765. |
