| Reverse description | Adoration of the Magi scene depicted in high relief, showing the Holy Family — the Virgin Mary seated holding the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph standing to the left — receiving the three Wise Men who approach from the right bearing gifts, a radiant star above the scene. The date and mintmaster's initials appear in the exergue, reading 1744 · IK ·. The composition is richly detailed in the baroque tradition, filling the entire reverse field. A partial legend runs along the upper periphery referencing the kings and their homage. |
