Reverse description A standing male figure in classical dress occupies the left foreground, his right arm raised holding a ribbon or scroll, rendered in dynamic baroque style. To the right, a detailed panoramic view of the city of Würzburg is depicted, with recognizable spires and architectural features visible on the horizon. A Latin legend encircles the upper border, reading ADEXTRIS EST MIHI NE COMMOVEAR, a biblical quotation from Psalm 15:8 (Vulgate), expressing divine protection. The composition skillfully combines allegorical and topographic elements in keeping with the grand commemorative tradition of German ecclesiastical coinage of the early eighteenth century.
