| Reverse description | A bold allegorical figure of Fortune (Fortuna) stands upright in the center of the field, depicted as a nude male figure balancing dynamically on a sphere, holding a billowing sail or veil overhead with both arms outstretched, symbolizing the capricious nature of fortune. In the lower left field, a group of small figures on horseback are visible in the background, suggesting a battle or procession scene. A tall palm tree rises to the right of the central figure. The encircling Latin motto legend reads FORTVNE IN FORTVNE FORT VNE ANNO 1613, separated by pellet stops, referencing the duke's personal motto on fortune. |
