| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborately rendered ornate achievement of arms surmounted by three helmets with mantling and crests, the central crest displaying a double-headed eagle with spread wings. The quartered shield below incorporates the heraldic devices of the Duchy of Münsterberg and Oels, including a checkered field and an eagle, all rendered in high relief within a beaded inner border. Small six-pointed stars appear in the upper field flanking the central helmet. The circumferential Latin legend reads SVPREM·PERVT·SIL·CAPIT·611·, referencing the Supreme Captaincy of Silesia and incorporating the abbreviated date 611 (for 1611). |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles II ruled Münsterberg-Oels — a small Silesian duchy held by the Podiebrad line — under the grinding suzerainty of the Habsburg crown, which had progressively tightened its grip on Silesian noble autonomy throughout the late sixteenth century. Multi-ducat presentation pieces of this type were not currency in any practical sense; they were minted as diplomatic gifts, courtly largesse, or marks of standing between Protestant nobles increasingly anxious about their position under Rudolf II.
1611 is a pointed date. Rudolf II was forcibly abdicated that year by his brother Matthias, a dynastic rupture that briefly reshuffled factional allegiances across Silesia just years before the Thirty Years' War collapsed the region entirely.
