| Reverse description | The Virgin Mary is depicted facing, nimbed and radiant, holding the Christ Child in her left arm and a scepter in her right hand, with a crown upon her head. The composition follows the standard Mariengroschen iconographic tradition widely employed in the Low Countries during the sixteenth century. The figures are rendered in a stylized, flat relief characteristic of hammered silver coinage of this period. A Latin devotional legend is positioned between two concentric pearled borders that frame the entire reverse design. |
