The coin features an intricate design on its front, displaying a crowned, double-headed eagle emblem which is surrounded by the words "KAISERLICHE KOENIGLICHE OESTERREICHISCHE SCHEIDEMUNZE," indicating its origin from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The coin's surface exhibits signs of age, with a distinct patina forming a greenish hue, and slight wear around its edges.
