| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large imperial Austrian coat of arms, featuring a double-headed eagle on a central shield, flanked by two heraldic supporters — a lion on the left and a griffin on the right — beneath an imperial crown. Below the arms, a seated putto figure emerges from elaborate acanthus foliage. The motto VIRIBVS·VNITIS arcs across the upper field. The border is decorated with an ornamental geometric pattern. |
