| Reverse description | Central field depicts a double-headed imperial eagle with spread wings, representing the Holy Roman Empire, with a small orb or shield on its breast. The eagle is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of early seventeenth-century German coinage, with bold if somewhat crude detail. A circular legend surrounding the eagle references the reigning Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II, reading FER. II. D. G. RO. IMP. SEM. AV., acknowledging imperial overlordship. The coin's reverse design conforms to conventions seen on many contemporary German territorial Groten issues struck under imperial authority. |
