(Translation: Unabridged Latin: Ioan Michail Radu Deo Gratia Valachiae Transalpinae Princeps Ioan Michael Radu by the grace of God, prince of Transalpine Wallachia)
Reverse description A crowned double-headed eagle displayed, rendered in the hammered style characteristic of mid-17th-century Wallachian issues. The eagle's two heads face outward to left and right respectively, surmounted by a single crown. The design occupies the majority of the coin's field, with the peripheral Latin legend encircling the motif. The overall strike is irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production techniques of the period.
