| Reverse description | A right-facing armored and robed bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I (Ferencz József) fills the inner circle, wearing the Hungarian St. Stephen's Crown and holding a sceptre over his right shoulder while his left hand rests upon the orb surmounted by a patriarchal cross. The effigy is rendered in the style of a 16th-century Habsburg thaler, conveying regal authority. A beaded border separates the portrait from the outer legend. The Hungarian royal titulature legend in abbreviated Latin runs around the full circumference, punctuated by bullet stops and a six-pointed star. |

| Additional information |
Franz Joseph I ruled Hungary as king from 1867 until his death in 1916, a tenure made constitutionally possible by the Ausgleich — the compromise that split the Habsburg Empire into its dual Austro-Hungarian form. Replica medals of this type proliferated in Hungary after the political changes of 1989, feeding a collector market newly free to engage with imperial-era iconography that had been ideologically awkward under socialist governance.
Silver-plated base metal construction is consistent with souvenir and commemorative replica production rather than any official mint issue.
