| Reverse description | A wildman striding to the right, holding a lit candle in his raised right hand and a tree trunk in his left hand, the flame symbolizing self-sacrifice in service to others. The date of issue appears at the top of the field within a single circular legend. The motto, rendered in Latin and separated by decorative stops, encircles the central device and alludes to the Lichttaler's emblematic theme of the candle consuming itself for the benefit of others. The design is bold and characteristic of the emblematic Thaler coinage popular among German princes of the period. |
