| Reverse description | A spread double-headed eagle displayed in the central field, with both heads facing outward, wings outstretched, rendered in a simplified but heraldically recognizable style evoking the imperial arms associated with Cambrai as a city of the Holy Roman Empire. The eagle occupies the majority of the flan, with talons visible at the base. A circular legend surrounds the device, bearing the inscription + DE. CAMBRAY 1 589., identifying the issuing city and the date of this emergency issue. The overall execution is crude yet deliberate, reflecting the constrained conditions of siege manufacture in 1589. |
