| Reverse description | Central field features a crowned, frontal bust of a female saint — identified as Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia, patron saint of Hesse — depicted in half-length, wearing a crown and holding her hands in prayer, with a Gothic church or tower visible to her left. The figure is enclosed within a beaded inner ring in the late Gothic artistic tradition characteristic of Hessian coinage of the period. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads GLORIA:REI:PVBLICE:1502, meaning 'Glory to the Commonwealth,' with the date 1502 incorporated into the legend. The overall composition reflects the pious imagery and civic symbolism common to early sixteenth-century German silver coinage. |
