| Reverse description | A large ornate oval cartouche displaying the quartered arms of Liegnitz-Brieg, incorporating the Silesian eagle and the chequered arms of Brieg, set against an elaborately mantled shield. Three crested helmets surmount the shield, the central one bearing a spread eagle, all rendered in high relief with richly scrolled mantling characteristic of the German Renaissance heraldic style. The encircling Latin legend names the ducal titles and concludes with the date of issue at the end of the inscription. The overall composition is dense and decorative, consistent with high-quality Silesian thaler coinage of the early 17th century. |
