Reverse description The reverse is divided into two concentric legend zones separated by an inner circle. The central field bears a four-line devotional inscription in bold raised letters: DEVS PROVI / DEBIT, referencing the biblical motto 'God will provide', with the date 1660 and the Sibiu (Cibinium) mint initial below. The outer legend carries the continuation of the pious inscription GLORIA TIBI SOLI DEO and the mint city name CIBINIUM, all rendered in Latin capitals. The overall layout reflects the strong Reformed Protestant devotional character common to Transylvanian princely coinage of the period.
