Obverse lettering FERDIN CAROL D G ARCHID AV D B COM TIROL 1642 HA
(Translation: Ferdinand Charles, by the Grace of God Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Count of Tyrol.)
Reverse description Full-length standing figure of Saint Leopold, patron of Austria, facing frontally and holding a processional banner in one hand and a model of a church in the other. The saint is set within a plain inner circle surrounded by a ring of fourteen heraldic shields arranged clockwise from twelve o'clock: Tyrol, Alsace, Habsburg, Prussia, Carinthia, Old Austria, Castile, Leon, Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, Burgundy, Styria, and Gorizia. The denomination numeral 2 appears within the reverse legend, confirming the two-ducat valuation. The composition reflects the dynastic complexity of the Habsburg-Tyrolean line through its elaborate armorial display.
