| Beschrijving keerzijde | An armored equestrian figure, representing Count Wolfgang Julius, rides a rearing horse to the right, trampling a fallen enemy beneath the horse's hooves in a dynamic martial composition characteristic of late Baroque German coinage. The rider holds a baton or sword and is depicted in full military attire with a plumed helmet. The surrounding German legend, reading SO FÄHRT EIN RECHT EDLER SINN ÜBER ALLES WIEDRIGS HINN, translates roughly as 'Thus rides a truly noble spirit over all adversity,' with the date 1697 incorporated into the legend at the top of the field. The design is contained within a beaded border with a milled outer rim. |

Wolfgang Julius ruled Hohenlohe-Neuenstein as count from 1676 until his death in 1698, making this 1697 ducat one of the last coins struck under his authority. The Hohenlohe territories were a patchwork of small lordships in Franconia that repeatedly subdivided through inheritance, producing a profusion of short-lived issuing authorities — and correspondingly low-mintage coinage at each partition. Ducats from the county's various lines are scarce precisely because the fiscal scale of these micro-territories rarely justified gold production in quantity.
The .986 fineness conforms to the long-established ducat standard that held across the Holy Roman Empire for centuries.
