Descrizione del rovescio	A boldly rendered rampant lion facing left, crowned, with an elaborately stylized mane and curling foliate tail filling the field in the late Gothic manner. The lion is depicted within a beaded inner circle, with a partial Latin legend visible in the outer margin. The overall treatment reflects the vigorous heraldic engraving style characteristic of Upper Palatinate hammered coinage of the early sixteenth century.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Philip I, Count Palatine of the Rhein and Duke of Bavaria, held the Upper Palatinate during a period when the proliferation of small regional silver coinages across the Holy Roman Empire was becoming administratively unmanageable. The Schilling functioned as a regional accounting unit as much as a circulating coin, its value constantly renegotiated against the taler-weight standards being hammered out at imperial monetary diets. Philip died in 1508, making the terminal date of this issue coincide precisely with the end of his rule.
