| Reverse description | Central device consists of an ornate fleur-de-lis rendered in the elaborate Renaissance grotesque style, rising from a foliate base and enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The fleur-de-lis, the traditional symbol of Strasbourg, is rendered with exceptional sculptural depth, its lobes intertwining with acanthus-like foliage. The circumferential Latin legend SOLIVS. VIRTVTIS. FLOS. PERPETVVS. — meaning 'the everlasting flower of virtue alone' — encircles the device, punctuated by star stops, all within a plain outer rim. |
