Auf größeren Nominalen - Gold oder Silber - ist der Spruch etwas abgeändert: IN TE DOMINE SPERAVI (Auf Dich Herr habe ich gehofft). (The double-headed eagle depicted on the reverse of this rare ducat bears the impaled coat of arms of Lorraine/Tuscany, the emperor's family crest, as its central shield. The reverse also features the motto "TU DOMINE SPES MEA" (You, Lord, are my hope).
