| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by an eleven-line Latin inscription in capital letters proclaiming the acclamation and coronation of Charles VI as Holy Roman Emperor at Frankfurt am Main in 1711, with the initials I.I.F. of the mint master below. The text is arranged in evenly spaced lines across the plain field, without a surrounding legend, and the coin's milled border frames the inscription on all sides. |

| Reverse description | Draped and armored bust of Emperor Charles VI facing right, wearing a flowing long wig, with a divine hand emerging from clouds at upper right placing an imperial crown upon his head. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, reading as a rhetorical question invoking the imperial crown. The portraiture is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style, with fine detailing on the armor and lace cravat. The milled border encloses the entire design. |
