| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborate crowned and mantled coat of arms of the Bishopric of Breslau, featuring a quartered shield incorporating the arms of the Vasa dynasty and the see of Breslau, surmounted by a bishop's mitre and crozier flanked by decorative scrollwork. The escutcheon is embellished with ornate baroque cartouche work and foliate flourishes extending to the edges of the klippe flan. A beaded inner circle frames the central heraldic composition. The circumferential Latin legend A • IOVA • PRINCIPIVM — meaning 'From God is the beginning' — runs along the upper portion of the border, affirming the divine authority of the bishop-prince. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles Ferdinand Vasa, Bishop of Breslau from 1625, was the younger brother of the Polish king Władysław IV and a son of Sigismund III — a dynastic placement that made the Bishopric of Breslau a node of Polish-Habsburg political maneuvering during the Thirty Years' War. This klippe was struck in 1631, the same year Magdeburg was sacked and the war's violence pushed hard into Silesia's orbit. Klippe formats at this weight were prestige objects, not circulation pieces — donatives or presentation strikes intended for court gift-giving rather than trade.
Friedensburg 2644 documents this as a rare survivor.
