| Reverse description | A crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with a circular imperial orb bearing the numeral 3 on its breast, denoting the face value of three Kreuzer. The eagle's heads face outward beneath a single imperial crown. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, citing Emperor Maximilian II with his titles as Roman Emperor. The overall style conforms to standard South German imperial coinage conventions of the late sixteenth century. |
