| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed with wings spread, rendered in the characteristic style of Holy Roman Empire coinage of the early seventeenth century. An imperial orb appears on the breast of the eagle, bearing the value numeral 32 (for 32 Groschen) within it. Two crowns surmount the respective heads of the eagle, with a third imperial crown above. The surrounding Latin legend invokes the authority of Emperor Rudolf II, abbreviated in the standard imperial titulature of the period. |
