| Reverse description | A large, elaborate fleur-de-lis rendered in high relief occupies the central field, its stylized foliage and scrollwork rising from a ribbed base. The motif is enclosed within a toothed inner border, surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading SOLI DEO GLORIA IN ALTISSIMIS, punctuated by rosette and pellet stops, expressing Protestant theological sentiment characteristic of the city's coinage of this period. |
