Joseph was a sensible and conciliatory ruler whose great military commander Prince Eugene of Savoy inflicted defeats on the French King Louis XIV. His reign was brief but generally successful before his death of smallpox in April 1711. The loyal Free City of Regensburg created this sumptuous tribute, a coin whose face value represented a startling amount of money when it was struck and was almost certainly intended for presentation to some very high dignitary.
