| Obverse description | Central field features the word IESUS above a radiant bust or glory, flanked by two symbolic emblems: at left, a flaming altar with an open Bible inscribed with text, and at right, a lion passant. An inner circular legend reads COELITUS ARDET ILLINCIT DUCIA USQUE AD MORTEM, with BIBLIA noted on the open book. The outer circumferential legend reads SANCTA TRINITAS MEA HEREDITAS, disposed around the full perimeter of the coin. The composition reflects the deeply religious iconographic programme characteristic of German Baroque commemorative coinage. |
