| Reverse description | The three-line field bears the face value expressed in Roman numerals, the denomination in full, and the date of issue, all arranged horizontally across the coin's surface. A circular legend reading GLORIA. IN. EXCELSIS. DEO surrounds the central inscription, separated by a plain inner border. The religious motto, meaning 'Glory to God in the Highest', is typical of Strasbourg billon coinage of this period and reflects the city's ecclesiastical traditions. The layout is clean and rectilinear, consistent with milled coinage production of the late seventeenth century. |
