| Reverse description | Displayed double-headed imperial eagle with wings spread, each head facing outward and surmounted by a shared imperial crown above the junction of the two necks. The eagle's breast bears a prominent orb, and the talons clasp a sword and sceptre. The bold circumferential legend, separated from the central device by a beaded inner border, reads MATTHIAS D G ROMAN IMP SEMP AVGVST, invoking the authority of Emperor Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor, and running clockwise around the entire field. |

Einbeck's 1618 thaler was struck at a politically fraught moment — the city, a member of the Hanseatic League in decline, was asserting its municipal minting rights even as the Thirty Years' War ignited that same year with the Defenestration of Prague. Small German civic authorities used coinage partly to signal continued autonomy, and Einbeck's output from this period is correspondingly limited. The CCT reference places this among the documented Taler-period civic issues cataloged by Cunetti-Ghirardini.
