| Reverse description | Crowned Imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the center of the field, with wings spread and each head facing outward, rendered in fine Baroque detail. A large heraldic shield is superimposed on the eagle's breast, bearing the quartered arms of the Habsburg domains. The eagle's talons grasp a sword and orb, symbols of imperial sovereignty. A large imperial crown surmounts the composition above the eagle's heads. The encircling Latin legend, separated by a toothed border, records Charles VI's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Count of Tyrol. |

| Additional information |
Charles VI spent much of his reign fighting for recognition of the Pragmatic Sanction — his decree ensuring Habsburg lands would pass undivided to his daughter, Maria Theresa. The diplomatic effort consumed enormous treasury resources, and the Hall Mint in Tyrol remained one of the most productive gold-striking facilities in the empire precisely because Tyrolean silver and gold revenues were kept administratively separate from the broader Habsburg fiscal apparatus.
The Hall Mint's ducats of this period are noted for consistently superior planchet quality relative to Vienna issues of the same years.
