| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a nine-line Latin commemorative inscription in Roman capital letters, reading LEOPOLDVS II HVNG ET BOH REX ARCH AVST M D HETR ELECTVS REX ROMANORVM CORONATVS FRANCOFVRTI IX OCT MDCCXC, each line separated by dot dividers. The lettering is boldly struck in high relief against a plain, unadorned field, with no portraiture or additional devices. The inscription records the titles of Leopold II and commemorates his coronation as King of the Romans at Frankfurt on 9 October 1790. The compact, centred layout is characteristic of Frankfurt coronation ducats of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire positioned above two crossed regalia — a sword and a sceptre — with the Imperial Orb at their centre, all rendered in fine relief. The composition of crossed sword, sceptre, and orb beneath the crown symbolises imperial sovereignty and the solemn coronation ceremony. Encircling the central devices along the upper periphery is the Latin legend PIETATE · ET · CONCORDIA ·, separated from the milled border by a plain field. The overall design is crisp and heraldically precise, consistent with the high-relief minting standards of late 18th-century Frankfurt coronation coinage. |
