| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned imperial orb (Reichsapfel) is centrally displayed, symbolizing universal dominion. To the left, an arm emerges from the field grasping an upright scepter, while to the right, another arm holds an upright sword, both emblems of imperial sovereignty and justice. The composition is bold and heraldic in character, presented within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |

Struck to mark the coronation of Leopold I as Holy Roman Emperor in Frankfurt on August 1, 1658, this issue belongs to a well-established tradition of Krönungsmünzen — coins produced specifically for the imperial coronation ceremony and distributed as largesse. Frankfurt, as the designated coronation city since the Golden Bull of 1356, held the exclusive privilege of hosting these elections and ceremonies, and its mint capitalized accordingly. Leopold's election had been contentious; French diplomacy under Mazarin worked aggressively to block his candidacy, and the concessions he was forced to make to the electors shaped Habsburg policy for years.
The .986 fineness is characteristic of Frankfurt's ducats from this period, deliberately maintained to meet the exacting standards expected of prestige presentation pieces.
