| Beschrijving keerzijde | Facing bust of St. Hildegard, patroness and foundress of the Abbey of Kempten, depicted within an ornately shaped baroque cartouche or shield. Above the cartouche rises an elaborate crested helmet surmounted by a figure of a Genius holding a sword and scepter. The date 1693 appears at the conclusion of the surrounding circular Latin legend. The overall composition reflects the high baroque engraving style characteristic of late seventeenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Kempten was one of the oldest imperial abbeys in the Holy Roman Empire, its abbots holding the rank of princes since the early medieval period. By 1693, the abbey was still recovering economically from the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, which had hit the Allgäu region particularly hard. Gold issues from Kempten's abbots are scarce precisely because the institution's resources rarely permitted sustained precious-metal coinage — a two-ducat piece under Rupert II represents an exceptional rather than routine exercise of imperial minting privilege.
