Reverse description A rampant lion, symbolizing the arms of Franconia, stands at center facing left, grasping an upright sword in its forepaw; to its left a pair of scales (balance of justice) rests on the ground, and to its right a serpent rises up, emblematic of wisdom and prudence. A flowing ribbon or banderole arches across the upper field, bearing the Latin motto in bold letters. The composition is executed in the vigorous high-relief Baroque style characteristic of early eighteenth-century German ecclesiastical coinage, enclosed within a finely milled border.
