| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborately quartered and crowned coat of arms of the Habsburg dynasty, displaying the combined heraldic achievements of Austria, Burgundy, Styria, and associated territories, supported by decorative cartouche and floral mantling. The large crowned shield dominates the reverse field, rendered in fine relief with intricate hatching to indicate the various tinctures of the constituent arms. The circumferential legend is divided across two lines reading ARCHI AVST DVX and BVR STYRIÆ ETC, identifying Ferdinand II's principal titles and dominions. The overall composition is characteristic of the grand presentation coinage produced at the Graz Mint in the early seventeenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Klippe strikes of this type were produced at Graz specifically as presentation pieces during the latter stages of Ferdinand II's consolidation of Habsburg power following the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. The square format was never intended for circulation — these were diplomatic gifts and court objects, struck on individually prepared planchets rather than from the roller presses supplying ordinary coinage.
The Graz mint was Ferdinand's home facility; he had served as Archduke of Inner Austria before his election as Emperor, and retained a particular attachment to Styrian production. The dual Her references — 351 and 353 — indicate documented die variations within this issue, a consequence of hand preparation at low volume.
