Reverse description Elaborate heraldic composition displaying the combined arms of Liegnitz and Brieg within a large quartered shield, featuring the Silesian eagle and chequered Piast devices, supported by ornate scrollwork and mantling. A smaller escutcheon bearing the eagle is placed atop the main shield. The encircling Latin legend DVC·SIL·LEG·ET·BREGEN· identifies the dukes' titles, running within a beaded border. The overall design reflects the elaborate Renaissance heraldic engraving style typical of Silesian coinage of the period.
