背面描述	A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with an orb bearing a cross on its breast, representing the Holy Roman Empire. The surrounding Latin legend cites the titles of Emperor Ferdinand II, with the date of issue incorporated into the legend. The composition reflects standard imperial iconography employed on contemporary German territorial coinage of the early seventeenth century.

附加信息	Philip Moritz ruled Hanau-Münzenberg for less than a decade, and his coinage falls squarely within the monetary chaos of the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the currency crisis of 1619–1623 in which debasement spread across the German states like contagion, with minor rulers and municipal mints racing to strike underweight coins before their neighbors could pass them back. Hanau-Münzenberg was no innocent bystander in this debacle. The 1623–1624 date range for this half thaler coincides with the reform period, when stricter imperial standards were being reimposed after years of degraded coinage. Suchier's documentation of this type remains the authoritative local reference for Hanau issues.
