| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays the Imperial double-headed eagle with wings displayed, shown facing, with detailed feather work to the wings and body. Above the eagle's heads, a crown surmounts the composition within the beaded inner circle. The surrounding circumferential legend in Latin capital letters reads FERDINANDVS · ROM · IMP · SEM · AVG, identifying the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I as the authority in whose name the coin was struck, separated by pellet stops and contained between the inner beaded border and the outer rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Abbey of Thorn was one of the more unusual monetary authorities in the Low Countries — a free imperial abbey whose abbesses held the rank of imperial princess and exercised full secular lordship, including the right to strike coin. This quarter daalder was issued under that privilege during the reign of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, whose name the abbey invoked as the legitimizing authority on the coinage despite operating with considerable autonomous latitude.
The names Batseler and Sprenger in the catalog designation refer to the mint masters active at Thorn during this period — a useful anchor for die study given the abbey's small and irregular output.
