| Reverse description | Full-length figure of the Virgin Mary, crowned and standing in a mandorla or pointed vesica, holding the Christ Child in her left arm and a sceptre in her right hand, rendered in a Gothic devotional style typical of early sixteenth-century episcopal coinage. The figure is depicted in flowing robes with fine drapery detail. The surrounding legend, invoking the Virgin as Queen of Heaven, is inscribed in Gothic uncial lettering around the periphery within a beaded border, reflecting the Marian devotion of the Bishopric of Chur. |
