| Reverse description | Melchior, one of the Biblical Magi, depicted kneeling in three-quarter view to the right, wearing a flowing draped cloak adorned with decorative detailing and a pyramid motif at its hem. He holds a golden orb — rendered as an inset golden element — in his hands as his gift. In the background to the right, a stylized nativity scene is depicted with a seated figure, a horse, a bare tree, and a rustic stable structure beneath a star-filled sky; a prominent eight-pointed star radiates at the top of the field. The name 'MELCHIOR' is inscribed in Gothic lettering along the lower rim. |
