| Reverse description | A solitary willow tree stands at center, its branches bent and lashed by storm winds amid dramatic depictions of lightning bolts and roiling storm clouds. In the background, five buildings or houses are visible, symbolizing the threatened lands of Hesse during the Thirty Years' War. Above the scene, the radiant Tetragrammaton (the Hebrew name of God, YHWH) shines forth from a glory. The entire composition is a deeply emblematic emblem-type design, conveying the motto's message of humility and divine deliverance. The Latin legend encircling the reverse reads IEHOVA VOLENTE HUMILIS LEVABOR, meaning 'God willing, the humble shall be raised.' |
