Reverse description Central motif is an imperial orb surmounted by a cross with anchor-shaped terminals, dividing the field into quadrants. The fraction denomination '1/60' is inscribed above the cross, referencing the coin's value as one-sixtieth of a Thaler. A circular Latin legend surrounds the orb, reading DA * T P / A T DO / IN T D / I T NO, a devotional inscription invoking divine authority. The overall style and execution are consistent with hammered minor coinage of the late 16th-century Lower Saxon circle.
