Reverse description Large quartered heraldic shield displaying the complex armorial bearings of the Hohenzollern dynasty, incorporating the Brandenburg eagle, the Scepter of the Arch-Chancellorship, the Pomeranian griffin, and other dynastic quarterings, surmounted by an imperial eagle as crest. The shield is rendered in fine detail characteristic of late 16th-century German hammered coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads DVX. STET. POM. CASS. VAND. CR. ET. IAG. PR. RVG., referencing the ruler's titles as Duke of Stettin, Pomerania, Cassubia, Vandalia, and Prince of Rugen. Additional title segments reading ROMA. IMP. ARCHI. CAME. appear as continuation of the legend.
