| Reverse description | A lion passant facing sinister (left) occupies the central field, rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of Meissen coinage. A Gothic letter 'b' appears to the left of the lion, with a ring device positioned to the left of the lion's head and a second ring at the terminus of the tail's curvature. The composition is typical of the Meissen Groschen series attributed to the reign of Frederick the Warlike. |
