| Beschrijving keerzijde | The crowned Virgin Mary depicted in three-quarter length, standing in glory upon a crescent moon, holding a scepter in her right hand while supporting the Christ Child on her left arm; bold rays of light emanate from behind her figure in a mandorla-like arrangement, a standard Marian iconographic type widely employed on Hungarian Habsburg coinage of the period. Immediately below the Madonna, a crowned twofold Hungarian coat of arms occupies the lower field of the coin. The date and KB mintmark are incorporated into the encircling Latin legend, which enumerates the hereditary titles of the monarch. |

Leopold I's multi-ducat gold strikes for Hungary were prestige pieces from the outset — struck for presentation, diplomatic gift-giving, and court ceremony rather than commercial exchange. The Budapest and Kremnitz mints produced these in short runs tied to specific occasions, which accounts for the irregular dating across the 1669–1674 window rather than any continuous annual output.
Kremnitz (Körmöcbánya) was the dominant source for Hungarian gold throughout Leopold's reign, its output feeding both imperial coffers and the perpetual military expenditure of the Ottoman frontier. The 1663–1664 Austro-Turkish War had strained Habsburg finances considerably, and large-denomination gold remained tightly controlled in the years immediately following.
