| Reverse description | The reverse presents a wreath of laurel or oak branches encircling the central legend within the field. Within the wreath, the denomination and date are inscribed in three lines: the numeral '1' at the top, followed by 'ALBVS' (rendered in period orthography with a V in place of U), the date '1646' below, and the mint-master's initials 'ET' at the base. A small ornamental element, possibly a cross or rosette, appears at the top of the wreath. The composition is simple and functional, consistent with the utilitarian nature of this small silver circulation piece. |
