| Reverse description | Central device depicts a spread imperial double-headed eagle with wings displayed, the heads crowned and facing outward, with a small shield bearing the numeral '2' on the eagle's breast, indicating the half-Batzen denomination. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle reading FERDINAND:II ROM:IMP:S:AVG, identifying the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II as suzerain authority. The design follows the standard imperial formula adopted on many German territorial coinages of the early seventeenth century. The strike is typical of hammered production, with slightly uneven distribution across the flan. |
