| Reverse description | Central device consisting of an oval quartered shield bearing the arms of Paderborn and Recke, superimposed upon a crossed sword and episcopal crozier in saltire, symbolizing both secular and ecclesiastical authority. A mitre surmounts the shield above, while the date 1653 is divided across the field flanking the shield. The surrounding circular Latin legend FORTITER RECTE PIE encapsulates the bishop's motto, meaning 'Boldly, Rightly, Piously', rendered in the engraving style typical of Westphalian ecclesiastical coinage of the period. |
