| Reverse description | The reverse features a prominent multi-line inscription in Latin capitals occupying the central field, arranged in five lines within a beaded inner border. The text constitutes a prayer adapted from Psalm 130 (De Profundis), reading SERVA / NOS QVIA / PERIMVS, reflecting the turbulent political circumstances of Barcsai's reign. The mint name SCHESBVRGI (Sighișoara) and the date 1.6.60 appear in the lower portion of the central inscription. A surrounding circular legend completes the biblical quotation, running continuously around the outer circumference in large hammered letters. |
