| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Latin legend acknowledging the imperial decree of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, authorizing the city of Cologne to strike this coinage. The legend is arranged in the field in multiple lines or around the periphery in the standard format of imperial-authorization thalers of the period. The die workmanship reflects the hammered technique typical of German civic mints of the mid-sixteenth century, with the text serving as the primary design element on this side. |
