it is portraying Empress Elisabeth of Austria 12/24/1837 to 9/10/1898
It looks like a commemorative medal. She was an absolute beauty standing 5'8'' very thin and 'lovely of face' with very, very long dark hair. The reverse is her palace or home 'Achillium'
Well, the reverse legend is "Achilleum restitutum". Presumably the building was restored (or planned to be restored) in 1962, a restoration perhaps paid for in part by selling fundraising medals.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
