Reverse description Elaborate quartered heraldic shield displaying the dynastic arms of Liegnitz-Brieg, comprising four distinct fields including a checky pattern and a crowned eagle, all within an ornate cartouche with scrolling baroque mantling. Three crested helms rise above the shield, each bearing distinctive crest devices including eagles and a lion, characteristic of Silesian ducal heraldry. The date 1622 appears at the conclusion of the circumscribed Latin legend, with the mintmaster's initials F S incorporated at the terminus. The entire composition is framed by a beaded inner border and a twisted rope outer border visible at the coin's rim.
