| Reverse description | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread and each head bearing an imperial crown. At the centre of the eagle's breast, a shield bearing the arms of Styria is depicted; above it are the patriarchal cross of Hungary and the lion of Bohemia, while below appear the arms of Austria and ancient Burgundy. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, incorporating the date at the base. The overall composition is characteristic of mid-18th century Habsburg heraldic coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Graz mint operated under persistent scrutiny during Maria Theresia's reign — the empress undertook sweeping monetary reforms in the 1750s aimed at standardizing coinage across her fragmented territories, and regional mints like Graz were frequent targets of quality audits. The Graz ducat series spans the period between her sole rule following Francis I's coronation arrangements and the mint's eventual closure, making date attribution within this range a function of die study rather than obvious variation.
Herinek references 123–138 cover considerable die diversity across this run. Not all are equally available.
