| Reverse description | Quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of the Duchy of Münsterberg-Oels, incorporating the Piast eagle of Silesia and the checky field associated with the County of Glatz, flanked by two smaller subsidiary escutcheons. The date is split across the field, with '15' visible to the left and '63' to the right of the central shield. The composition is characteristic of Silesian ducal heraldic coinage of the mid-16th century, executed in a bold hammered relief. The surrounding Latin legend MONETA.AVRE.NOVA.REICHENSTE identifies this as a new gold coinage of Reichenstein. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the circumferential inscription. |
