| Reverse description | A detailed allegorical cityscape depicting the New Jerusalem — a heavily fortified city with towers and battlements — rising majestically above a turbulent sea, with rocky cliffs flanking both sides of the composition in the foreground. Above the city, rays of divine light emanate from a central point in the upper field, evoking heavenly benediction. The scene commemorates the bicentenary of the Protestant Reformation, with the Latin motto arching across the upper field and the dedicatory inscription MEGAPOLIS IUBILANS with the date ANNO 1717 31 OCT. arranged in two lines in the lower exergue, followed by the engraver's initials I.H.F. |
