| Reverse description | Central device features an ornate cross with trefoil or clover-leaf terminals at each arm, a common decorative motif on small German pfennig coinage of the late 17th century. A circular or oval cartouche frames the cross in the center of the field. The date 1680 is divided by the cross arms, with digits appearing in the four quadrants formed by the cross. |
