| Reverse description | Central field featuring a large Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads turned outward and surmounted by a single Imperial crown, rendered in the robust hammered style typical of sixteenth-century Germanic coinage. The eagle's wings are spread wide, its feathers shown in detailed relief, and its talons are prominently depicted at the base. A shield or orb is positioned on the breast of the eagle. The surrounding Latin legend, running along the coin's periphery within a plain border, reads: CAROL ⋆ V ⋆ ROMANO ⋆ IMPE ⋆ SEMPER ⋆ AVGVSTVS, invoking the authority of Emperor Charles V as overlord under whose suzerainty this baronial coinage was struck. |
