| Reverse description | Central field depicts the double-headed imperial eagle with a cross orb at its apex, symbolising the Holy Roman Empire under Ferdinand II. Each head is crowned individually, and the breast of the eagle bears a small heraldic shield. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, around which the circular legend reads FERDINANDVS II D G ROM IMP SEMP AVG, identifying the reigning emperor Ferdinand II as the suzerain authority. The lettering is rendered in a typical early Baroque Roman script, partially obscured by the uneven flan edges characteristic of hammered coinage. |
