| Reverse description | A crowned imperial eagle with wings spread and head turned to the left occupies the central field, rendered with detailed feathering in the Gothic heraldic style typical of northern Italian grossi issued under Hohenstaufen and later imperial authority. The eagle is set within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by the circumferential legend invoking Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria. The overall composition underscores the political alliance between the Rusca lordship of Como and the Holy Roman Emperor. |
