| Reverse description | Imperial orb surmounted by a cross, centered within a cusped quatrefoil frame, all rendered in the late Gothic style typical of late 15th-century Saxon coinage. The quatrefoil lobes are adorned with foliate decoration. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The peripheral inscription in uncial Gothic lettering identifies this as a new gold coin of Leipzig: + MONE: NOVA: AVR: LIPCENSIS. |
