| Reverse description | A long cross pattée extending to the beaded border divides the field into four quarters, each bearing the arms of Bavaria-Palatinate; the arms consist of alternating lozengy and pale-striped quarters referencing the Wittelsbach dynastic claims of John of Bavaria. The cross limbs intersect the circular legend, a common compositional device on medieval gros-type coins. The legend in uncial Gothic lettering runs continuously around the coin between the inner circle and the outer beaded border, punctuated by pellets. |
