Reverse description	Armored bust of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V facing right, wearing an ornate crown and richly decorated armor with a ruffled collar, set within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend CAROLVS V. ROM. IMP. SEMP. AVG. — identifying Charles V as Roman Emperor, forever Augustus — runs clockwise within a beaded outer border. The portrait is rendered in the typical hammered style of the period, with bold if somewhat crude detail characteristic of a small civic mint. The reverse pays tribute to the imperial overlord under whose authority the city issued its coinage.
