| Reverse description | The enthroned Virgin Mary, crowned and nimbed, seated facing, holding the Christ Child on her left knee; the Child raises his right hand in benediction. The Virgin holds a sceptre in her right hand. The composition is rendered in a late Renaissance devotional style characteristic of German ecclesiastical coinage of the Thirty Years' War period. The surrounding Latin legend CLYPEVS OMNIB. IN TE SPERANTI. ('A shield to all who trust in Thee') encircles the design within a milled border, invoking Marian protection. |
