| Reverse description | Noah's Ark depicted in left profile, floating upon stylized wavy waters with a rocky outcrop visible to the right, serving as a biblical allegory for the Peace of Ryswick of 1697. Above the ark, a dove in flight to the right carries an olive branch in its beak, symbolizing peace and divine deliverance. The two-word Latin legend NVNTIA PACIS (messenger of peace) is distributed across the upper field flanking the dove. The composition is presented in a wide, open field with a fine milled border surrounding the entire design. |
