| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Saint James the Apostle (Jacobus) standing facing, wearing pilgrim's hat, cloak, and tunic, holding a long staff in his right hand and a book in his left. He stands upon a landscape with a panoramic view of a mining town and smelting works in the background, referencing the Ausbeutetaler tradition of depicting the local mining industry from which the silver was sourced. The date 1633 appears divided within the field, flanked by the mint reference SANCT and IACOB. A circular Latin legend surrounds the entire composition, reading as a pious invocation to God to sanctify the duchy's silver output. |
