In the central part, a heraldic shield crowned with two crowns, framed by a chain. Below the shield are the highest awards of the empire. The shield displays the coats of arms of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia and Lodomeria, and Burgundy, with the crowned Habsburg-Lorraine coat of arms in the center. To the right and left on the cornice, shield supporters – griffins standing on their hind legs and holding a large crown above the shield. To the right, below left along the rim, a Latin inscription: 'ARCHIDVX AVST∙DVX BVRG∙ET LOTH∙MAG∙DVX HETR∙1790∙' (Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Lorraine, Grand Duke of Tuscany 1790). At the end of the legend, a mark in the shape of the Latin letter 'X'. The edge of the coin features decorative raised denticles.
