| Reverse description | Central scene depicting the Adoration of the Magi, showing the Virgin Mary seated and holding the Christ Child, attended by the three Magi — Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar — who present their gifts in a richly detailed Baroque composition. Camels and attendant figures are visible in the background, lending depth to the devotional scene. The names CASPAR, MELCHIOR, and BALTHASAR appear in the surrounding legend, separated by ornamental stops. The Roman numeral date MDCCXXIII is inscribed in the exergue, flanked by mint marks. The entire design reflects the strong Catholic devotional tradition of the Cologne archbishopric. |
