| Aversbeschreibung | The entire obverse field is occupied by a nine-line Latin dedicatory inscription in raised lettering within the plain circular field, naming Leopold II with his full royal and imperial titles and recording his coronation as King of the Romans at Frankfurt on 9 October 1790. The lettering is rendered in a clean Roman capital style without a surrounding border legend, with each line of text centered across the flan. The inscription reads: LEOPOLDVS II / HVNG ET BOH REX / ARCH AVST M D HETR / ELECTVS / REX ROMANORVM / CORONATVS / FRANCOFVRTI / IX OCT / MDCCXC. The coin's smooth, unadorned field focuses all visual emphasis on the commemorative text. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Frankfurt had the unusual privilege of serving as the coronation city for Holy Roman Emperors, and the Free City exploited that status aggressively in coin form. This piece was struck to commemorate the coronation of Leopold II in October 1790 — a ceremony conducted under considerable political pressure, with Revolutionary France already destabilizing the western edge of the Empire. Leopold had rushed from his throne in Hungary and Bohemia to secure the imperial election following the sudden death of Joseph II in February of that year.
Frankfurt's coronation issues were sold as souvenirs and presentation pieces rather than circulated. The .986 fine standard was deliberately elevated above everyday ducats.
