| Reverse description | A crowned Imperial double-headed eagle displayed in the field, rendered in the vigorous, somewhat rough style typical of hammered German kreuzers of the reign of Charles V. A small shield bearing the letter 'K' — the initial of the city of Kempten — is placed at the base of the eagle's body. A circular Latin legend surrounds the eagle, citing the imperial titles of Holy Roman Emperor Karl V (Charles V). The overall composition follows the standard Etschkreuzer type adopted by numerous south German imperial cities in the early 16th century. |
