| Reverse description | Double-headed Imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread, each head surmounted by a crown, and bearing on its breast a circular orb charged with a cross, emblematic of the Holy Roman Empire under Ferdinand II. The eagle is rendered in the hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German gold coinage. The surrounding Latin legend FERDINANDVS II ROM IMP SEMP AVG identifies the overlord as Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, within a rope-pattern border consistent with the obverse. |
