Accepted answer
The inscription LEOPOLDUS II D·G·R·IMP·S·A·G·H·B·REX·A·A·B·L·D abbreviates the following:
Leopoldus Secundus, Dei gratia Romanorum imperator semper augustus; Germaniae, Hungariae, Bohemiae rex; Archidux Austriae; Burgundiae et Lotharingiae dux
These refer to, in order, his titles of:
- By Grace of God, Holy Roman Emperor, the always august
- King of Germany, Hungary and Bohemia,
- Archduke of Austria,
- Duke of Burgundy and Lorraine
Note that this is not Leopold II's full title. He held so many kingdoms and duchies it is highly unwieldy to list them all.
