| Reverse description | A rampant lion passant to the right occupies the central field, holding a sword erect in its right paw and a pair of scales in its left, symbolising justice and authority. Behind the lion, a detailed panoramic cityscape of Würzburg is depicted in the background, with towers and spires rendered in fine relief. The composition is set within a beaded border, with the Latin motto PRO SECVRITATE ET IVSTITIA arching above in the legend, referring to the guiding principles of the Prince-Bishop's rule. |
