| Reverse description | Central device features a large imperial double-headed eagle displayed, with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in hammered relief, surmounted by an imperial crown. On the eagle's breast appears the imperial orb. The date '86' (for 1586) is inscribed to the left of the eagle. The surrounding legend references Emperor Rudolf II, reading RVDOL • II • IM • AV • P • F • DECRE • 86, indicating the imperial decree authorizing the coinage. The composition is typical of late 16th-century Holy Roman Empire monetary authorization imagery, combining civic and imperial symbolism. |
