| Reverse description | Displayed imperial double-headed eagle with a shield bearing the arms of the city of Besançon on its breast, set within a beaded inner circle. The eagle's wings are spread and its heads crowned, serving as the dynastic emblem of the Holy Roman Empire. The surrounding Latin legend encircles the device and concludes with the date of issue at the end of the inscription, separating the regnal type from the civic monetary authority. |
