Obverse description Left-facing bare-headed portrait bust of Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail to the hair, beard, and whiskers, characteristic of the medallic style of engraver Gustave Deloye, whose signature appears at the truncation. The circumferential legend reads JOHANN II FÜRST VON LIECHTENSTEIN, separated from the portrait by an inner beaded border. The field is smooth and deeply struck, lending a portrait-medal quality to the design.
