| Reverse description | Central allegorical scene depicting a storm-tossed rocky landscape with waves, figures, and turbulent clouds, symbolising divine protection amid adversity. Above the scene, a radiant sun bursts through the clouds, surmounted by a winged heart or cherub motif, representing divine providence. A small figure appears at the lower centre of the field, reinforcing the emblematic character of the composition. The encircling peripheral legend in German proclaims the motto of Amelia Elizabeth: 'Against might and cunning, my rock is God,' rendered in Latin script. The reverse design reflects the devotional and emblematic iconography typical of seventeenth-century German princely coinage. |
