| Reverse description | A standing female allegorical figure, representing the City of Frankfurt or Imperial Fortune, is depicted at center, holding attributes including a sceptre or staff and an orb, with a radiant sun emerging from clouds in the upper left field. At her feet lies a prostrate dragon or serpent, symbolizing the vanquishing of adversity. A river landscape with architectural elements appears in the background at right, likely representing the River Main and the Frankfurt skyline. The legend FELICIBUS AUSPICIIS arcs across the upper field, while the lower exergue bears the inscription ELECT·FRANCOF / DXX·VII·MART / MDCCLXIV, recording the election date of 27 March 1764 at Frankfurt. The entire design commemorates the coronation election of Joseph II as King of the Romans. |
