| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a multi-line commemorative inscription in large, boldly struck capital letters, recording the Ottoman Turkish siege of Vienna commencing on 23 September 1529. The text is arranged across seven lines and reads continuously across the square flan, with pellet stops separating words. The inscription serves both as a commemorative legend and as the principal design element, with no figurative imagery, reflecting the utilitarian emergency nature of this klippe issue. A plain inner border frames the lettered field. |
