| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a twelve-line funerary inscription in Latin capital letters, commemorating the death of Princess Loysa Amoena of Anhalt-Köthen, daughter of Prince Ludwig I. The text records her birth date (November 28, 1609, at the sixth morning hour) and her death date (March 26, 1625, around the eleventh evening hour), noting that she lived fifteen years, three months, twenty-six days, and seventeen hours. The inscription fills the field to the edge with no separate border legend, the lettering executed in a clear Roman capitals style characteristic of early seventeenth-century German hammered coinage. |
