Reverse description A displayed Imperial double-headed eagle dominates the field, with both heads crowned and a small imperial crown above, rendered in the bold hammered style characteristic of early 17th-century German coinage. On the eagle's breast is a circular shield bearing the denomination numeral '16' (signifying 16 Schilling), set within an orb or roundel. The surrounding legend FERDINANDVS II D G ROM IMP SEMP AVG, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, runs clockwise in Latin characters within a beaded border.
