| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Ferdinand III facing right, wearing a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon at the nape, and an ornate lace collar over armored shoulders. The emperor's features are rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail characteristic of the Prague Mint's skilled engravers. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the periphery of the coin. The field is smooth and the portrait occupies the majority of the flan. |
