Below the shield are the highest awards of the empire. Along the upper edge of the coin is a Latin inscription to the right and left: 'REX∙LOMB∙ET∙VEN∙DALM∙GAL∙LOD∙ILL∙A∙A∙1847∙' (King of Lombardy and Venice, Dalmatia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Illyria, Archduke of Austria 1847). Below is the numeral '4', flanked on both sides by a Moor's head. Along the edge of the coin are decorative elements in the form of dots.
