背面描述	Central field features a displayed eagle, likely a double-headed Imperial eagle, rendered in the hammered style characteristic of late 16th-century Lorraine billon coinage. The eagle occupies the majority of the flan, with wings spread and details somewhat worn due to the nature of hammered production. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device reading MONET.NOV NANCEI.CVSA, attesting to the coin's status as a new coinage struck at Nancy. The lettering appears in abbreviated Latin capitals consistent with contemporary Lotharingian minting practice.

附加信息	Charles III of Lorraine walked a careful diplomatic line between the French crown and the Holy Roman Empire for most of his reign, and his coinage reflects the same ambiguity — billon issues like this half groschen served the dense commercial traffic of a duchy that was neither fully French nor fully German. The Nancy mint was active throughout this period, though output varied considerably with political pressure from both Paris and Vienna. Boudeau 1560 is the standard reference for the type; Flon's catalog refines attribution further by die linkage.
