| Reverse description | A centrally positioned open book of laws resting upon a richly decorated altar or table, flanked by two cherub heads at the base. From the upper left, radiating sunbeams emanate diagonally across the field, symbolizing divine enlightenment and imperial authority. The curved Latin legend VNIONE ET OBSERVANTIA LEGUM (By union and observance of the laws) encircles the upper portion of the design. The composition is executed in fine medallic style, combining allegorical and emblematic elements characteristic of eighteenth-century Frankfurt coronation coinage. |
