The central part features the lesser coat of arms of the Austrian Empire: a double-headed eagle with spread wings, its heads crowned, above them the Crown of Saint Stephen. In its right talon are a sword and scepter, in its left an orb. On its chest is the familial heraldic shield of Habsburg-Lorraine, encircled by a chain, with the empire's highest orders below the shield. Along the edge of the coin is a Latin inscription in an arc, right and left: 'HVN∙BOH∙LOMB∙ET VEN∙GAL∙LOD∙IL∙REX∙A∙A∙1822∙' (King of Hungary, Bohemia, Lombardy and Venice, Galicia, Lodomeria, Illyria, Archduke of Austria 1822). The rim is decorated with decorative denticles.
