Reverse description The reverse presents a full-length frontal effigy of Saint Lawrence, the patron saint of Nuremberg, standing erect in clerical vestments and holding a gridiron — the instrument of his martyrdom — in his left hand and a book of the Gospels in his right. The figure is rendered in the Gothic style typical of early 15th-century Rhenish goldgulden, with fine drapery detail visible despite the limitations of the hammered technique. A beaded inner circle frames the saintly figure, while the surrounding legend S LAVRENCIVS is inscribed in Latin uncial script between the inner border and the coin's outer edge.
