| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I facing right, with long flowing curled hair to the shoulders, rendered in the high Baroque style. The emperor is shown in armor with a draped mantle visible at the shoulder. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy reading LEOPOLDVS DG ROM IMP SEM AV GE HV B REX, identifying him as Emperor of the Romans, King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. The portrait is set within a finely milled border, and the field exhibits the high-relief craftsmanship characteristic of Silesian gold coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leopold I issued multiple-ducat pieces from Silesian mints as political instruments as much as monetary ones — Breslau's production in particular reinforced Habsburg authority over a region only firmly reintegrated after the Thirty Years' War. By 1685, the Counter-Reformation was being prosecuted aggressively in Silesia; Protestant churches were being seized under the so-called Reduction edicts, and presentation-quality gold struck at Breslau circulated among courtiers and officials who were implementing that policy.
The .986 fineness slightly exceeds the ducat standard of .979, a deliberate choice for prestige multiples intended for gifting rather than trade.
