| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and piled high with curls in the Baroque fashion. The effigy is rendered in fine relief with ornate drapery at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads M. THERESIA. D: G: R. IMP. HU. BO. REG. C, identifying her as Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and Empress of Rome by the grace of God. The portrait occupies the majority of the coin's field in a bold and stately style characteristic of mid-18th-century Habsburg coinage. |
