| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, her hair elaborately curled and surmounted by a pearl-studded diadem, with a ribbon bow at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in fine relief in the Baroque court style typical of the Vienna Mint. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circumferential Latin legend reads M THERES D G R IMP GE HU BO REG, identifying her as Empress of the Romans and Queen of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. |

| Reverse description | A crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the center of the field, its wings spread and each head facing outward, with a crowned escutcheon of Austria — the horizontal red-and-white barry shield — superimposed on the breast. Below the eagle, the large numeral 3 denotes the denomination. The circumferential Latin legend, interrupted by the date at the top, reads ARCH AUST DUX BURG COM TYR [DATE], listing Maria Theresia's titles as Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Burgundy, and Countess of Tyrol. A beaded inner border frames the entire design. |
