| Reverse description | Standing female figure, draped in period dress, depicted in full length within a beaded inner circle at center; she holds a long-handled wine ladle extended to the right, alluding to the city's ancient privilege of dispensing wine at imperial coronations. Small flora and architectural elements appear at her feet in the lower field. The surrounding Latin legend, partially inverted at the base, encircles the entire composition within the outer ring, referencing the freedom from compulsion in drinking — a celebrated tradition associated with Aachen's coronation festivities. |
