| Reverse description | Central oval cartouche bearing the two-line motto SOLA SPES MEA ('My sole hope'), enclosed within a finely executed wreath of laurel and palm branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. Above the cartouche an electoral crown is depicted surmounted by a row of six five-pointed stars and a decorative foliate finial. The wreath and crown fill the entire field, with the milled border of the coin visible at the periphery. The composition is emblematic in character, referencing the personal device of Magdalena Sibylla and conveying a devotional message befitting a memorial issue. |
