Reverse description A ten-line devotional Latin inscription fills the central field, commemorating the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession of 1530, with the date rendered in Roman and clock numerals (CIƆ IƆ CCXXX) as the final line alongside the specific date XXV. IUNII (25 June). The inscription is introduced by a decorative header of floral ornaments and a crowned cartouche bearing CHRISTO, identifying Christ as the preserver of the purer religion. Palm branches flank the lower portion of the text, and the mint official's initials I.H.T. appear below as the final element.
