| Reverse description | An elaborate allegorical composition filling the field, centered on a large oak wreath tied at the top with a ribbon bow, beneath which a crossed caduceus is displayed, symbolizing commerce and industry. To the left within the composition, agricultural and scholarly implements including books and tools are arranged in a still-life grouping, while to the right a beehive is flanked by a sheaf of grain, together emblematic of diligence and productivity. The date 1780 appears in the lower field, with the denomination mark X and the fineness statement EINE MARK FEIN below. The circumferential legend ZUR BELOHNUNG DES FLEISSES, meaning 'For the Reward of Diligence,' arcs across the upper field, confirming this coin's function as an agricultural and industrial prize award. |
