| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Count Maximilian Joseph Ernest of Montfort facing right, depicted with a long flowing wig rendered in elaborate curls characteristic of early 18th-century Baroque portraiture. The bust is armored with ornately decorated pauldrons adorned with floral and star motifs. A mintmaster's letter 'H' appears below the bust in the lower field. The circular Latin legend reading 'ERN COM IN MONTF H' surrounds the portrait, punctuated by a six-pointed star at the top, with the coin's milled edge border visible throughout. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Montfort-Peggau was among the smallest and most financially precarious of the Austrian imperial counties, and its coinage was essentially a fiscal stopgap. Maximilian Joseph Ernest's authority to strike was technically derived from imperial privilege, but the practical motivation was the chronic shortage of small silver in the Vorarlberg and surrounding territories during the 1740s.
Ebner's documentation of this type notes considerable variation across the four-year run, suggesting multiple working dies were cut without strict adherence to a single master — not unusual for a minor county operating without a permanent mint facility.
