| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate and draped bust of Emperor Charles VI occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing wig and armored shoulder drapery. The effigy is set within a plain inner field bordered by a toothed milled edge. The encircling Latin legend reads CAR VI D G R I S A G HI H BOH REX, abbreviated titles identifying him as Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary, Bohemia, and more. The portrait displays the characteristic Baroque style of early eighteenth-century Habsburg coinage, with strongly modeled facial features in right profile. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the crowned Imperial double-headed eagle with spread wings, bearing on its breast an escutcheon charged with the rampant Bohemian lion. The eagle holds a sword and sceptre in its talons. Above the eagle's heads rests the Imperial crown flanked by the date at upper left and the legend continuing to the right. The denomination numeral VI appears at the base of the design within a cartouche. The encircling Latin legend ARCHID·AUST·DUX·BU·COM·TYROL, with the date 1733 visible on the example illustrated, runs along the periphery within a toothed milled border. |
