| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved devotional image of the Virgin Mary crowned and enthroned, holding the Christ Child on her left arm, set within a radiant mandorla of flames and rays. The Virgin is depicted in flowing robes, gazing frontally in a hieratic Baroque manner consistent with the Marian piety championed by Maximilian I during the Counter-Reformation. The surrounding Latin legend, separated from the central device by a beaded border, carries the motto CLYPEVS OMNIBVS IN TE SPERANTIBVS, meaning 'A shield to all who trust in Thee', a Psalm-derived invocation referencing the Virgin's intercessory role. The composition reflects the influence of the Altötting Madonna, Bavaria's most venerated pilgrimage image. The field around the figure is plain, allowing the high-relief devotional image to dominate the coin's surface. |
