| Reverse description | Saint Stephen, protomartyr, depicted standing facing in full length, clad in ecclesiastical robes with a nimbus about his head. He holds a palm frond in one hand, the traditional martyr's attribute, and a cluster of stones in the other, referencing his death by stoning. The figure is rendered in the Gothic-influenced style typical of mid-sixteenth-century Low Countries hammered gold coinage. A beaded border frames the central image, with the circumferential Latin legend identifying the saint running around the periphery. |
