| Reverse description | A three-quarter-length frontal figure of St. Nicholas, patron saint of Teschen, turned slightly to the left, vested in full episcopal regalia including mitre and cope. The saint holds a crozier in his right hand and raises his left hand in a gesture of blessing, with robes rendered in flowing drapery. The figure is set within a beaded oval frame, and a Latin legend in the outer margin identifies the saint and the denomination. The composition follows the established Silesian ecclesiastical coin type of the mid-16th century. |
