| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Emperor Francis I of Lorraine set within a rhombus, with the denomination numeral '30' inscribed in the field below the bust. The Latin legend, beginning at approximately the 7 o'clock position, encircles the portrait and is divided into four segments by the points of the rhombus. The overall design reflects the Baroque imperial portrait style characteristic of mid-18th century Habsburg coinage. |

Francis Stephen of Lorraine held the Hungarian co-rulership alongside Maria Theresa but occupied a curiously diminished position in the coinage hierarchy — the "without X" designation refers to issues where the cross (X) following his regnal numeral was omitted, a variation catalogued separately in Huszár precisely because Hungarian collectors and the imperial mint treated such distinctions as meaningful. These two years of production coincide with the broader monetary reorganization Maria Theresa was pushing through the Habsburg lands in the late 1740s, following the ruinous cost of the War of Austrian Succession.
The dual Huszár references — H#1793 and H#1795 — reflect die variants across the 1749 and 1750 emissions rather than separate denominations.
