| Beschrijving keerzijde | A standing allegorical female figure, personifying Fortune or Industry, is depicted in dynamic contrapposto at center, posed upon a raised pedestal. She holds a billowing ribbon or banner arching over her head, with additional attributes in her hands evoking themes of chance and industry. The legend IN TE DOMINE SPERAVI encircles the design, expressing devotional trust, with the date 1767 incorporated into the inscription. The overall composition is characteristic of the lottery ducat (Lotterie-Dukat) type issued under Charles Theodore, combining religious sentiment with allegorical imagery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles Theodore ran state lotteries as a revenue mechanism from the 1750s onward, and these ducat-weight gold pieces were issued as lottery prizes rather than circulating currency — a distinction that explains their consistently high surviving grades. The practice of minting prize coins was not unique to the Palatinate, but the Mannheim court's issues are among the most systematically documented of the German lottery coinages.
Frühwald 2039 is the standard reference anchor for this type. The Slg. Memme specimen provided a key auction benchmark for condition grading within the series.
