my best guess for this is that it is for Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen and his 1797 campaign against Bonaparte.

The spelling variations of "Teutschlands" and "dankbaare," as well as "einem" for "seinem," make seeking out examples difficult, but I found at least one old German reference that refers to the bust as that of the "archduke," presumably Archduke Karl of Austria, Duke of Teschen.

This jeton was made by "Johann Christian Reich" to commemorate the effots of Karl.
on the reverse, we see the allegory of Germania. the legend says: "To it´s Herrmann the grateful fatherland". This refers to Arminius (german: Hermann)who liberated the germanic tribes from the romans.
