| Reverse description | A rampant lion, facing left and rendered with vigorous detail, occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, representing the Bohemian lion as a symbol of the royal connection of the Schlick counts. The lion's mane, claws, and double tail are executed in the bold relief characteristic of early Joachimsthaler coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounding the central device references Joachimsthal and the comital title. The overall style reflects the influential early Thaler coinage tradition established at the Joachimsthal Mint from 1519 onward. The hammered flan displays typical surface irregularities consistent with the striking method of the period. |
