| Reverse description | Central device depicts the crowned Virgin Mary standing in a mandorla of radiating glory, holding the Christ Child before her, both figures rendered in the late Gothic Rhenish style typical of early seventeenth-century episcopal coinage. The Virgin wears a crown with a nimbus or halo above, and the Christ Child is positioned frontally against her body. The entire central group is enclosed within an oval mandorla of rays. A beaded inner border surrounds the design, with the Latin legend around the periphery reading MONETA NOVA AVREA PHILPSBVRG, identifying this as a new gold coin struck at Philippsburg. |
