| Reverse description | The reverse bears a six-line German inscription filling the entire field, reading HIOB 37.22 / VON MITTERNACHT KOMT GOLD / KONIGSBERG / Am 1. Dec: 1697 / HC M, citing the biblical reference Job 37:22 ('Out of the north comes gold') in allusion to the northern origin of the gold used to strike the coin. The text is arranged in diminishing lines and serves as a commemorative inscription recording the date and place of minting at Königsberg on 1 December 1697. The initials HC M at the base of the inscription refer to the mint master. The coin is encircled by a beaded inner border with a milled outer edge. |
