| Reverse description | Central field depicts the Imperial double-headed eagle displayed, representing the Holy Roman Empire, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The eagle bears the Imperial orb on its breast and is surmounted by a crown. The surrounding peripheral legend, punctuated by quatrefoil stops, reads MAXI ᛭ II ᛭ ROMA ᛭ IMP ᛭ P ᛭ DE, abbreviating 'Maximilianus II Romanorum Imperator Perpetuus Decretor' in reference to Emperor Maximilian II, who sanctioned the city's coinage rights. The hammered strike produces characteristic surface irregularities consistent with sixteenth-century municipal coinage. |
