| Obverse description | Draped and veiled bust of Empress Maria Theresa facing right, wearing a pearl brooch at the shoulder and an elaborate coiffure beneath a veil. The circumferential legend reads M·THERESIA·D·G· R·IMP·HU·BO·REG· S·F·, with the mintmark S·F· appearing in the lower exergue. Superimposed on the bust is a small rectangular Arabic-script counterstamp reading عبد لطيف صانع الفضَّة بجيبوتي, identifying the Djibouti-based silversmith Abd al-Latif who authenticated and re-issued the coin for local trade in the Obock region during the period 1892–1914. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the restrike neoclassical style characteristic of all post-1780 Maria Theresa Thaler restrikes. |
