| Reverse description | A wildman standing facing, his body covered in foliage, holding an upright lit candle or torch in his raised right hand — the emblematic 'Lichttaler' motif symbolising self-sacrifice in service. In his left hand he grasps a tree trunk or club, which bisects the two-part date in the field. The circumferential motto legend in Latin reads ALIIS IN SERVIENDO CONSVMOR ('I am consumed in serving others'), referencing the burning candle as an allegory of devoted rulership. |
