| Reverse description | A displayed imperial double-headed eagle dominates the central field, its wings spread and bearing a small shield on its breast with the denomination numeral 16, indicating the value of 1/16 Thaler. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of early seventeenth-century German coinage, with bold if somewhat rough execution. The surrounding circular legend reads PR: HALB: ET: M: ADM: 1619, referring to Christian William's titles as Prince of Halberstadt and Administrator, with the date 1619 integrated into the legend. The flan edges are ragged and irregular, consistent with the debased Kipper coinage produced during the monetary crisis of the Thirty Years' War. |
