Austria, Leopold I the Hogsmouth (HRE), 1640 - 1705 A.D.
|Austria|, |Austria,| |Leopold| |I| |the| |Hogsmouth| |(HRE),| |1640| |-| |1705| |A.D.|, The obverse legend abbreviates: Leopold, by the grace of God, Emperor of the Romans, Ever Augustus, King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. The reverse legend abbreviates: Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Count of Tyrol.

Leopold's reign is known for his conflicts with the Ottoman Empire in the east, and his rivalry with Louis XIV, a contemporary and first cousin, in the west. He was victorious in the Great Turkish War. Leopold fought three wars against France - the Dutch War, the Nine Years' War, and the War of the Spanish Succession. In this last, Leopold sought to give his younger son the entire Spanish inheritance, disregarding the late Spanish king's will. The war engulfed much of Europe, continued nine years after Leopold's death, and ended without success.
