Reverse description Square klippe reverse featuring a prominent ornamental fountain at centre, depicted in fine relief with a figurine standing atop the basin and water jets issuing from the structure, symbolising civic prosperity. Above the fountain, an all-seeing eye radiates beams of light, a common Baroque theological motif. The legend is arranged along the four sides of the field within the rope-twist and beaded border, reading as a devotional or civic motto. The composition is enclosed by the same milled klippe border as the obverse, consistent with the pattern strike format.
