| Reverse description | The crowned Virgin Mary, depicted as the Madonna of Hamburg, stands in majesty holding a long sceptre in her right hand while cradling the Christ Child, who bears an orb, in her left arm. A radiant sun with extended rays forms a nimbus or glory behind her figure, and a crescent moon appears beneath her feet, referencing the Woman of the Apocalypse (Revelation 12:1). The composition is rendered in the refined mannerist style typical of Hamburg coinage of the early seventeenth century. The surrounding Latin legend, separated by a beaded border, reads: SI · DEVS . PRO . NOBIS . QVIS . CONTRA . NOS . |
