| Beschrijving keerzijde | An allegorical female figure, representing Peace or Frankfurt's civic virtue, stands facing slightly left at centre, crowned with a mural crown and holding an olive branch in her raised right hand; a sword hangs at her left side. At her feet lies a defeated soldier in full armour, his weapons scattered beside him, symbolising the end of conflict. A radiant rising sun with long rays illuminates the scene from the left background, with a distant landscape visible to the right. In the lower exergue, a rectangular panel bears a three-line Latin inscription recording the date of Joseph II's election as King of the Romans at Frankfurt, 27 March 1764. The upper field carries the legend FELICIBUS AUSPICIIS, with the lower panel reading ELECT·FRANCOF / D·XXVII·MART / MDCCLXIV, all enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt struck coronation ducats in its own name for every imperial election held in the city, a right it jealously guarded as the designated coronation seat of the Holy Roman Empire. The 1764 issue marks the coronation of Joseph II as King of the Romans — elected and crowned while his father Francis I was still alive — making this one of the rare instances where the Empire effectively had two heads simultaneously. Joseph would not rule as Emperor outright until Francis died the following year.
The Förschner 352.4 designation places this among the documented die varieties catalogued for the issue, with multiple reverse dies known for the 1764 type.
