| Reverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil formation, representing the arms of Lübeck, Hamburg, and Wismar respectively, reflecting the Wendish monetary alliance. A rampant lion to the left occupies the central field where the three shields converge, serving as a unifying heraldic device. The circumferential Latin legend encircles the design, with the date 1546 appearing at the conclusion of the inscription. The composition follows the standard iconographic conventions of the Wendish Mark coinage, emphasizing the cooperative monetary union of the participating Hanseatic cities. |
