This small, gold medal commemorates the coronation of Maria Theresa as Queen of Hungary in 1741. The medal was designed by Anton Franz Widemann and depicts a profile portrait of the queen, facing right, with an elaborate hairstyle and a jeweled collar. The inscription "MARIA THERESIA AVGUSTA" surrounds the portrait, indicating the queen's title. The inscription "AVTO-EMAN" near the base of the medal suggests Widemann as the artist. The medal is a valuable piece of history, showcasing a significant event in the reign of Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dynasty.
