Reverse description The reverse features a central inscription of five lines within an inner circle, recording the mint name ONOLT(zbach) and the birth and death dates of Margrave George Frederick: born 5 April 1539 and died 26 April 1603. A circular outer legend in German surrounds the central inscription, reading the biblical phrase 'IST GOTT MIT VNS WER MAG WIDER VNS SEIN' (If God be with us, who can be against us). The text is arranged in a clear, legible hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century German funerary commemorative coinage. The field is plain with no additional decorative elements.
