| Reverse description | Large quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the Duchy of Lorraine and its associated territories, surmounted by a ducal crown with floral finials, the date 1632 appearing above the shield within the crown. The complex quarterly arms include the bend of Lorraine, fleurs-de-lis, and other dynastic charges rendered in fine detail. A continuous Latin legend encircles the shield close to the beaded border, attesting to the coin's conformity with Imperial weight and fineness standards. The composition fills the field with heraldic authority in the tradition of early seventeenth-century Rhenish thalers. |
