Reverse description The field depicts the full-length figure of Saint Sebastian bound to a post or tree, pierced by arrows in the manner of his martyrdom, rendered in the late Gothic engraving style typical of early sixteenth-century South German coinage. The saint is shown facing forward with arms bound above his head, his body transfixed by multiple arrows. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumferential Latin legend SANCTVS SEBASTIAN encircling the composition along the outer border, identifying the patron saint.
