Reverse description The reverse presents a full-length figure of the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception, standing in glory upon a crescent moon atop billowing clouds, cradling the Christ Child on her left arm and holding a sceptre in her right hand. She is depicted with a radiate halo and enveloped in an aureole of flames, reflecting the Marian devotion prominent in Counter-Reformation Bavaria. The composition is enclosed within a rope-bordered inner circle, with the pious Latin legend CLYPEVS OMNIBVS IN TE SPERANTIBVS — meaning 'A shield to all who trust in Thee' — running continuously around the outer rim, separated by a fleur-de-lis ornament.
