| Reverse description | Full-length figure of the Virgin Mary (Madonna) standing facing, nimbed and robed, holding a scepter in her right hand, set atop clouds above a crowned Bavarian coat of arms displayed on a large roundel. The Virgin serves as the celestial protectress of Bavaria, a standard iconographic motif on Bavarian coinage of this period. The elaborate quartered shield beneath her feet bears the arms of Bavaria and associated territories, surmounted by an electoral crown. The surrounding Latin legend proclaims Bavaria's safety under the Virgin's protection, distributed evenly around the coin's beaded border. |
