| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Ferdinand III facing right, rendered in high relief with long flowing hair beneath the laurel wreath; the emperor is shown in armour with an ornate gorget and mantle fastened at the shoulder, conveying imperial gravitas. A beaded inner circle frames the effigy, separating it from the surrounding circumscribed Latin legend. The portrait displays the characteristic Baroque engraving style of the Vienna mint, with fine detail in the drapery and facial features. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand III issued these large multiple-ducat pieces in the final years of his reign, a period bookended by the catastrophic Thirty Years' War — which had only concluded in 1648 — and the ongoing financial strain of rebuilding Habsburg authority across a devastated Central Europe. Striking ten-ducat pieces in near-pure gold at Vienna was less about circulation than about dynastic display: these were presentation coins, given as gifts to ambassadors, military commanders, and foreign dignitaries.
Ferdinand III died in April 1657, making the overlap year a terminus for this particular issue. Herrinek numbers 21–22 distinguish minor die variants within the type.
