| Reverse description | The municipal arms of Besançon, displaying a double-headed imperial eagle on a shield, occupy the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The mint date appears above the shield, divided at its apex. The surrounding Latin legend + MON : CIVIT : IMP : BISVNTINÆ identifies the piece as coinage of the imperial city of Besançon. The overall design is characteristic of the civic coinage struck by the free imperial city during the early seventeenth century. |
