| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Ferdinand II facing right, rendered with broad curling hair and wearing a necklace; the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece is suspended at the chest. A crowned twofold Hungarian shield appears in the field behind the neck, with a figure of the Madonna standing on a crescent moon to the right. The encircling legend in Latin identifies the emperor by his full imperial and royal titles. The portrait reflects the Baroque medallic style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Central European coinage. |
