| Obverse description | Veiled and draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, her hair dressed and partially covered by a flowing veil, set above a decorative laurel branch arrangement at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend reads M THERESIA D G R I HU BO GA LO REG, interrupted at intervals by dots. Below the bust, within a recessed rectangular panel, the mint ratio inscription XXXXVIII EX MARCA PURA VIEN denotes the number of coins struck per mark of fine Viennese silver. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the late Baroque court style characteristic of Habsburg silver coinage of the 1770s. |
