Reverse description The reverse is entirely typographic in design, with the denomination and fineness statement arranged in four bold horizontal lines across the field: the numeral '48' appears at the top centre flanked by small rosette stops, followed by 'EINEN', 'THALER', and 'FEINSILB.' (Feinsilber, meaning fine silver), with the date and mint-master initials 'I·I·G' distributed along the lower line. The legend declares that 48 of these pieces equal one fine silver Thaler, providing an explicit statement of the coin's intrinsic value. The entire reverse is enclosed within a milled border. The lettering is in a bold serif Roman typeface typical of 18th-century German mining coinage.
