| Reverse description | An armored gauntlet or hand emerging from clouds holds a sword aloft, upon the point of which is impaled a cardinal's or Jesuit biretta cap, symbolizing Christian's militant anti-Catholic stance during the Thirty Years' War. The date appears at the conclusion of the surrounding Latin legend. The bold, propagandistic design is characteristic of the polemical coinage struck in Christian's name during the early 1620s. |
