Reverse description An allegorical scene depicting a rocky outcrop rising from turbulent waves, symbolizing the endurance of the Lutheran Reformation against adversity. From storm clouds flanking left and right, bolts of lightning and sheets of rain strike the rock, while rays of divine light emanate from its summit. In the central lower field, an oval cartouche bears the fractional denomination 1/4. The upper legend VOBIS INVITIS arches above the scene, meaning 'against your will,' and the lower legend IVBIL·EVANG·II· with the date I·1717·T· is inscribed in the exergue, commemorating the second Evangelical Jubilee. The border features a dentilated rim throughout.
