| Reverse description | Herculean mythological scene depicting Hercules, clad in the Nemean lion skin, at left raising his club to strike down a soldier at right. A divine voice issues from clouds at the upper left, referencing the biblical motto. The date 1546 appears in the exergue below the scene, separated by a baseline. The surrounding legend MIHI·VINDICTAM·ET·EGO·RETRIBVAM, drawn from Romans 12:19, frames the dramatic composition. The scene is enclosed within a beaded inner rim. |
