| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Franz I facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail typical of early 19th-century Viennese coinage. The emperor wears a laurel wreath over a ribbon-tied queue, with an elaborately draped mantle visible at the truncation. The circular legend FRANCISCVS I. D. G. AVSTRIAE IMPERATOR runs along the outer border. The mint mark 'A' for Vienna appears in the lower exergue beneath the bust. The overall style reflects the neoclassical portraiture favored under the Austrian Empire. |
