| Reverse description | The central field displays the quartered Habsburg dynastic arms surmounted by an imperial crown, incorporating the arms of Austria, Burgundy, Bohemia, Hungary, and Tyrol among others, rendered in fine hammered relief. A rampant lion, likely representing Bohemia, appears prominently within one of the quarters. The encircling Latin legend ARCHI·AVST·DVX·BVRG·MAR·MOR·CO·TIR· 1612 records Matthias's titles as Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Margrave of Moravia, and Count of Tyrol, with the date 1612 incorporated into the legend. The entire design is framed by a beaded inner border consistent with the hammered coinage of the Prague Mint. |
