| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold long cross extends to the inner border, dividing the field into four quadrants and separating the Latin legend into its component words. An inner beaded or cable border frames the cross design, with the legend DE ME RA NO distributed across the four quadrants in Gothic lettering, referencing the town of Merano (Meran), the seat of the comital mint. The field is plain and the overall composition is typical of hammered bracteat-influenced denarii of the Alpine region. |

The eagle groschen of Tyrol is among the earliest groschen-denomination coins struck north of the Alps, appearing in Merano roughly contemporaneous with the great groat coinages spreading out of Tours and Florence. Meinhard I and his brother Albert II ruled Tyrol jointly under their mother Adelheid until Meinhard consolidated sole control — the joint attribution on this type reflects that contested, transitional authority rather than a stable co-regency.
Merano's mint benefited directly from the Adige valley's position on the Brenner trade route, where toll revenues and silver from Trentino-area mines gave the counts both the metal and the commercial motivation to issue a heavy silver piece acceptable to merchants crossing into Italy.
