It's a nice size coin 26mm & .3733 oz AGW with a mintage of 220,000. The obverse is a little baggy marked but the reverse is really nice with great mint lustre. This coin is hard to find in this grade or higher.

The bust is of Maria Luigia; Napoleon's second wife and the Empress of Austria. She reigned over the province and city of Parma in the nineteenth century.
