| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned double-headed Imperial eagle displayed, with wings spread and feathers finely detailed in high relief, bearing on its breast an escutcheon charged with the Bohemian lion rampant. The eagle's heads are surmounted by a single elaborate Imperial crown above an orb. The date A·1638 appears in the left field. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by pellets, reads GER HVM BOHE REX and continues with the titles of the issuer, all enclosed within a beaded inner border. |

Multiple-ducat pieces of this scale were not struck for circulation. They functioned as presentation coins — gifts from the emperor to ambassadors, military commanders, and high nobility — and their survival in any condition reflects that careful handling from the moment of striking. Ferdinand III had assumed the Bohemian crown in 1627 and the imperial title in 1637, and these were produced at Prague during the final grinding years of the Thirty Years' War, when the mint was simultaneously financing a war effort and producing ceremonial pieces for diplomatic purposes.
The Prague mint's output during this window was intermittent, constrained by bullion supply disruptions tied directly to wartime economics. Fr#46a distinguishes this from closely related Prague emissions within the broader Ferdinand III multiple-ducat series.
