| Reverse description | A crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the field, its wings spread and heads facing outward, rendered in the robust hammered style characteristic of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Austrian coinage. The eagle bears a shield on its breast and is surmounted by a crown, symbolizing the Trautson counts' allegiance to and recognition by the Holy Roman Empire. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading IN FALKENSTEIN AVREI VELL EQVES, referencing the lordship of Falkenstein and the count's membership in the Order of the Golden Fleece. The legend is separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. The coin's reverse strongly emphasizes the count's imperial and chivalric prestige. |
