| Reverse description | Three heraldic shields arranged in a trefoil composition: at the top, the arms of the Holy Roman Empire (a cross potent with crosslets, representing the electoral office of arch-treasurer); at lower left and lower right, the rampant lion of the Palatinate of Saxony. The date 1621 is divided by the upper shield, with the numerals 16 to the left and 21 to the right. A small rosette ornament appears below the lower shields at the base of the field. A beaded inner border surrounds the design, with the legend continuing around the periphery. |
