背面描述	Central field features the rampant Styrian panther displayed on a flat-topped shield, rendered in high relief within a beaded inner circle. The date 1533 appears above the shield in the upper field. The circumferential legend in Latin denotes the new coinage of the Duchies of Styria and Austria, reading continuously around the beaded border.

附加信息	The Pfunder — sometimes called a Pfund or pound-weight piece — was a large-denomination silver coin introduced in the Habsburg territories as trade coinage demanded heavier, more standardized silver. Ferdinand I, then Archduke of Austria and still consolidating his grip on the hereditary lands after the 1526 Bohemian and Hungarian inheritances, used the Graz mint in Styria as one of his primary southern minting centers. The Styrian silver supply from mines in the eastern Alps fed directly into production here. 1533 places this coin squarely within Ferdinand's ongoing financial strain from Ottoman pressure — Suleiman had besieged Vienna in 1529, and the defense costs were immense.
