| Reverse description | Central field depicts the crowned Virgin Mary seated on clouds in three-quarter view, holding the Christ Child on her left arm; the Christ Child raises his right hand in blessing. The Virgin is surrounded by a radiate glory or mandorla of fine rays emanating from her figure. Roses are strewn about the clouds at her feet, alluding to Marian iconography. A circular Latin legend surrounds the composition, reading CLYPEVS OMNIBVS IN TE SPERANTIBVS, meaning 'A shield for all those who trust in Thee,' reflecting the deep Marian devotion of Elector Maximilian I. |
