| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Joseph II facing right, rendered in the neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century Habsburg coinage. The legend, commencing at 12 o'clock, reads in abbreviated Latin for 'Josephus II, by the Grace of God, Emperor of the Romans, Ever Augustus, King of Germany, Archduke of Austria, Lodomeria, and Grand Duke of Etruria.' The portrait is finely engraved with detailed facial features and a laurel wreath crowning the head. |
