| Beschrijving keerzijde | The quartered arms of the Abbey of Fulda displayed on an ornate baroque shield, surmounted by a patriarchal cross and supported by two rampant lions as heraldic supporters, all within a finely engraved composition. The crozier and sword, symbols of the abbatial and princely authority respectively, appear flanking the achievement. The date 1738 is inscribed in the exergue below the shield, with the mint master's initials N·D (for Johann Nikolaus Dittmar) flanking the date. The legend VERITATE·ET·IVSTITIA, meaning 'With Truth and Justice', runs along the beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amand von Buseck ruled Fulda as Prince-Abbot from 1737 until his death in 1756, presiding over an ambitious rebuilding program that transformed the abbey complex into one of the most extravagant Baroque ecclesiastical centers in the Holy Roman Empire. The financing of that construction — including continued work on the cathedral consecrated just a decade earlier — required aggressive exploitation of every revenue stream available to a prince-abbey, including the minting prerogative. This ducat dates to his first full year of rule.
Fulda's gold coinage is comparatively scarce against its silver output. The abbey's mint rights were perpetually contested, and production runs in gold tended to be short.
