| Reverse description | Detailed bird's-eye perspective view of the Aschaffenburg castle complex (Johannisburg), rendered with remarkable architectural precision showing multiple towers with conical spires, multi-storey wings, and a central courtyard, all set within an inner beaded border. The Latin motto SUB UMBRA ALARUM TUARUM ('Under the shadow of Thy wings', from Psalm 17) runs along the upper portion of the circumscribed legend between inner and outer beaded borders, while the date ANNO 1619 appears at the left, commemorating the completion of the castle. The legend continues in retrograde along the lower arc of the coin. |
