| Reverse description | Crowned Spanish-style heraldic shield of eight-fold quartered arms, incorporating the central escutcheon of the Wolff-Metternich family, set within an elaborate Baroque cartouche frame. The shield is superimposed upon a crossed sword and crozier, symbolizing the bishop's dual secular and ecclesiastical authority. The date 1713 and the mint initials A P appear within the surrounding Latin legend, which records the issuer's additional titles including Burggrave, Stromberg, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire, Count of Pyrmont, and Lord of Boreloo. |
