| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Father Time or Death personified stands centrally, holding a scythe in his right hand and an hourglass in his left, symbolizing the mortality of the ruler; beside the figure is a decorative cartouche bearing the funerary inscription recording the duke's age at death — 60 years, 10 months, and 8 days — along with the date 1589. The composition is flanked by ornamental scrollwork at the base of the tablet. The circular Latin legend surrounding the design reads LVCTU PVBLICO, referencing public mourning. The reverse is executed in the characteristic German Renaissance memorial thaler style, with the toothed rope border framing the entire composition. |
