| Reverse description | The lower half of the field features a panoramic view of the city of Essen, while the upper half depicts a battle scene with combatants; above the scene, a saintly figure appears in clouds in a celestial apparition. The surrounding Latin legend contains a chronogram encoding the date 1680. The composition is characteristic of Baroque commemorative thaler coinage, combining topographic, hagiographic, and military elements within a unified design. |
