| Reverse description | A downward-pointing sword is displayed prominently in the center of the field, flanked symmetrically by two fish oriented back-to-back, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The sword and fish are rendered in a flat, heraldic style characteristic of medieval episcopal coinage. A Latin circumscription runs around the outer border referencing the mint of Epinal. The composition reflects the ecclesiastical and civic symbolism associated with the Bishopric of Metz and its monetary authority in the region. |
