| Reverse description | The Virgin Mary seated facing, crowned and draped, holding the Christ Child before her, her feet resting upon an inverted crescent moon with the figure surrounded by a glory of radiating flames. Clouds are depicted beneath the crescent. The Salzburg countermark '16S81' appears prominently in the field, applied at the time of revalidation by the Archbishopric of Salzburg in 1681. The circumferential Latin legend CLYPEVS OMNIBVS IN TE SPERANTIBVS ('A shield to all who trust in Thee') encircles the composition, with the countermark date 16S81 also integrated into the legend. |
