| Reverse description | The reverse field contains a six-line Latin commemorative inscription recording the birth and death dates of Duke Georg Rudolf, rendered in bold raised lettering: NATUS 22 IANUARII ANNO 1595 OBIIT 14 IANUARII 1653. A peripheral Latin legend encircles the central inscription, reading S. CÆS. MAI. VICAR. REG. SUPR. PRÆF. PER. UTRAM & SIL., denoting the duke's imperial offices as Vicar and Supreme Governor of both Silesias. The inscription is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with the outer rim showing the same fine milled edge as the obverse. The overall layout is typical of Silesian memorial issues of the period, combining heraldic titulature with precise biographical data. |
