| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two patron saints of Salzburg are depicted seated and facing each other within an open field: Saint Rupert on the left, holding a salt casket as his attribute, and Saint Virgil on the right, bearing a model of the Salzburg Cathedral; both hold croziers and are shown with radiant haloes about their heads. The composition is rendered in a formal baroque style befitting the period. A circular Latin legend commencing at 12 o'clock surrounds the scene, naming the two saints as patrons of Salzburg. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Franz Anton von Harrach served as Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg from 1709 to 1727, and this 20-ducat piece was almost certainly struck in the year of his accession — a practice common among the Salzburg archbishops, who used large-format multiple-ducat issues to announce new rule and distribute as diplomatic gifts. The Salzburg mint had a long tradition of producing such showpiece multiples, technically coins but functionally presentation objects exchanged between courts.
Zöttl 2334 is among the rarer Harrach issues. The .986 fineness places it at the high end of what the period's gold refining could reliably produce.
