| Reverse description | Central field displays a quartered heraldic cross arrangement, with four coats of arms set in the angles: the Austrian fess (horizontal bar), the Hungarian stripes or Bohemian lion, the Castilian castle or similar Habsburgian quarter, and the Tyrolean eagle, all rendered in the hammered style typical of early sixteenth-century Hall coinage. The arms are separated by a bold cross with ornamental terminals. The surrounding Latin legend ARCHI D• AVST COMIT TIROL, meaning Archduke of Austria, Count of Tyrol, is distributed around the outer field within a beaded border. |
