| Reverse description | Central field depicts Saint Martin of Tours as an armoured knight on horseback, rendered in bold relief in the early German Renaissance style. The saint is shown mounted on a rearing horse, leaning down to share his cloak with a beggar figure kneeling beneath the horse's hooves, as per the traditional iconographic scene of his act of charity. The composition fills the field with dynamic energy. A beaded inner border separates the central scene from the circumferential Latin invocation legend: SANCTE. MART. O R A. PRO. NOB., a devotional appeal to Saint Martin to pray for the faithful. |
