| Reverse description | Saint Stephen, patron saint of Metz, depicted nimbate and kneeling in three-quarter view toward the right, his hands raised in a devotional posture. The abbreviated legend S STEPH METE encircles the figure, with the date 15 51 divided by the saint's body in the field. The design is rendered in the crude but expressive hammered style characteristic of minor billon ecclesiastical coinage of mid-sixteenth-century Lorraine. |
