| Reverse description | Central device depicts the enthroned Madonna as Patrona Bavariae, seated facing with the Christ Child on her left arm, both figures rendered with regal solemnity. Beneath the Madonna's feet is an upturned crescent moon resting on billowing clouds, a traditional Marian iconographic element. A radiant glory of fine rays emanates from behind the central group, filling the field. The date appears in the exergue below the cloud device. The encircling legend reads PATRONA BAVARIAE., identifying the Virgin as patroness of Bavaria. |
