| Reverse description | A double-headed imperial eagle displayed, with both heads surmounted by a single imperial crown, wings spread and talons outstretched, rendered in the bold, stylised manner typical of mid-sixteenth-century hammered coinage. The eagle fills the central field and is enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding Latin legend, interrupted by the date 1568, invokes the authority of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II. |
