CAROL. / ALEXANDER. / MARCHIO BRANDENBVRG / GRATIARVM MONVMENTVM / FIERI FECIT. / MDCCLXXVIIII.' The inscription commemorates Margrave Christian Frederick Charles Alexander of Brandenburg-Ansbach's dedication of a monument of gratitude for the restoration of peace in Germany. The layout is carefully centered and engraved in a formal Roman epigraphic style, with the name of the margrave prominently emphasized in the middle lines. |

| Reverse description | A standing draped female allegorical figure representing Peace or Germania occupies the center of the field, holding an olive branch aloft in her right hand and resting her left hand on a tall staff or spear. At her feet lies a defeated figure with discarded arms and armor, symbolizing the end of conflict. To the right, a shield decorated with heraldic elements rests on the ground amid laurel branches. The circular legend 'VIRTVTE ET AEQVITATE PACATA GERMANIA' runs along the upper border in Latin, while 'TESCHINAE' appears in the exergue, referencing the Peace of Teschen (1779), with a mintmaster's mark 'G' below. |
