| Beschrijving keerzijde | Full-length standing figure of Emperor Ferdinand III in imperial regalia, facing forward, wearing crown and holding orb and scepter, with the date 1643 divided in the field to either side. The emperor is depicted in a formal, frontal pose consistent with Holy Roman Empire ducat iconography of the mid-seventeenth century. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with the imperial titular legend arranged in a continuous circle around the periphery within a beaded border. |

Aachen's right to strike gold ducats derived from its status as the traditional coronation city of the Holy Roman Emperors — a privilege jealously defended against repeated challenges from the imperial chamber. By 1645, the city was emerging from the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, which had disrupted Rhine-region trade networks and drained municipal finances severely. Local coinage took on added importance as trust in foreign specie collapsed across the German states. The Menadier reference places this piece within a tightly documented run, with varieties distinguishable by subtle differences in the city arms rendering.
