| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned elaborate heraldic achievement displaying the quartered arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz impaled with the personal arms of the Eltz-Kempenich family, the shield set within a flowing baroque mantle and flanked by a sword and a crozier crossed behind. The date 1738 appears in the lower field below the arms, divided by the shield. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition reading DOMINUS REGIT ME ET NIHIL MIHI DEERIT, a scriptural motto meaning 'The Lord governs me and I shall want for nothing.' |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip Charles of Eltz-Kempenich served as Archbishop-Elector of Mainz from 1732 until his death in 1743, a tenure defined largely by his navigation of the fractious politics surrounding the disputed imperial succession that would eventually ignite the War of the Austrian Succession. As arch-chancellor of Germany, the Archbishop of Mainz held the most senior electoral dignity in the Holy Roman Empire — the right to cast the first vote in imperial elections — which gave these ducats a political weight well beyond their bullion content.
The Walther reference places this among a small run of gold issues under Philip Charles, none struck in large quantities.
