| Reverse description | A displayed imperial eagle with spread wings and turned head occupies the central field, struck in high relief against a plain background. A beaded inner circle surrounds the eagle. The circular Latin legend DOMINE*CONSERVA*NOS*IN*PACE — meaning 'Lord, preserve us in peace' — runs around the outer border. The reverse design reflects the city's allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire and its appeal for divine protection, consistent with coinage produced during the turbulent early years of the Thirty Years' War. |
