| Reverse description | Central field features the crowned imperial orb of the Holy Roman Empire set within a beaded oval cartouche or inner circle. The orb, topped by a cross, serves as the primary type, referencing imperial overlordship under Rudolf II. The encircling legend RVDOL.II.RO.IM.S.AV abbreviates 'Rudolphus II Romanorum Imperator Semper Augustus', identifying the reigning Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. The hammered strike produces a somewhat uneven surface consistent with municipal billon coinage of the late sixteenth century. |
