| Beschrijving voorzijde | Six-line Latin inscription presented within a rectangular frame or cartouche, reading DVCATVS NOVUS REG:SED: VRBIS AQVIS.GR. The cartouche is surrounded by an elaborate decorative wreath of scrollwork and foliage executed in high relief, giving the design a distinctly baroque character. The inscription identifies the coin as a new ducat of the Royal Imperial City of Aachen. The overall composition fills the field symmetrically, with the ornamental border extending nearly to the coin's rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aachen's right to strike gold ducats was a point of persistent friction with the Habsburg administration throughout the eighteenth century. As a Free Imperial City, Aachen held minting privileges in theory, but the practical exercise of those rights was repeatedly challenged by the Imperial Circles, who accused the city of producing underweight or debased coinage. The 1753 date falls squarely within a period of renewed scrutiny, when the Reichsmünzordnung was being selectively enforced against smaller mints.
The Rhenish ducat standard at .986 fine was among the highest gold purities struck anywhere in the Empire at the time.
