| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central crowned composite coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Charles the Posthumous of Austria, flanked on either side by the mitred episcopal arms of Brixen and Wrocław, each accompanied by a crosier in saltire behind the shield. The heraldic composition is boldly executed in high relief, with the crowns and mitre rendered in fine detail. The encircling Latin legend identifies the bishop's dual see of Brixen and Wrocław, with the date 1614 incorporated into the legend. A decorative cross or sword symbol appears as a dividing device within the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bishopric of Brixen occupied an awkward political position in the early seventeenth century — nominally a prince-bishopric of the Holy Roman Empire but squeezed between Tyrolean Habsburg administrative pressure and Rome's reforming post-Tridentine clergy. Charles of Austria, known as "the Posthumous" because he was born four months after his father Ferdinand II of Tyrol died in 1595, became Bishop of Brixen in 1613 at age eighteen, a purely dynastic appointment. He held the see for less than two years before his death in 1624.
The "plain mozzetta" designation distinguishes this type from companion issues where the episcopal cape is shown with a decorative border — a die distinction meaningful to variety collectors working through the Brixen taler series.
