| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of St. Vitus, patron saint of Corvey, depicted frontally and robed, holding a palm branch in one hand and a book in the other, with a bird — an attribute of the saint — shown in association with his figure. A lion is shown recumbent at his feet behind him, a secondary heraldic and hagiographic symbol. The mintmaster's initials appear in the lower exergue beneath the saint's feet. The encircling Latin legend names St. Vitus as patron of Corvey. |
