| Obverse description | Right-facing armored bust of Emperor Rudolf II occupying the majority of the coin's field, depicted in three-quarter length wearing a ruffled collar and elaborately engraved armor with a pauldron visible on the left shoulder. A small crowned shield appears to the right of the bust. The portrait is rendered in the mannered late-Renaissance style characteristic of Habsburg coinage of the period. The surrounding Latin legend reads RVDOLPHVS · II · D · G · RO · I · S · AV · G · H · BO · REX, separated from the central design by a plain inner border. |
