| Reverse description | Central quartered coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Cologne, displaying the heraldic arms of Cologne, the County of Arnsberg, the Duchy of Westphalia, and further territorial quarterings, all set within a pointed oval shield. A bold Greek cross with ornate terminals divides the field around the shield, consistent with the standard Rhenish goldgulden reverse type of the period. The shield and cross design are enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin mint legend arranged in Gothic lettering around the outer border of the coin. |
