| Reverse description | A detailed allegorical mining scene depicting two large ore-bearing hills in the central field, with miners actively working the slopes using picks and tools, a horse-drawn ore cart in the foreground, and lightning bolts striking the left hill. Atop the right hill sits a crowned heraldic shield inscribed BERG ORDEN, flanked by mining implements. The curved Latin legend arcs across the upper field, while the lower exergue bears a two-line inscription. The entire composition celebrates the renewal of the Westphalian silver mines under the Archbishop's authority. |
