| Reverse description | Duke John Casimir depicted in an equestrian portrait, shown in three-quarter view riding a prancing horse to the right, clad in full articulated armor with a lace ruff visible at the collar and a commander's baton or sword at his side. The horse is rendered with naturalistic detail, its tail flowing and forelegs raised in a levade. A landscape with a distant townscape or fortress is visible in the lower field beneath the horse. The surrounding legend, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border, reads ELEND.NICHT.SCHAD.WER.THVGENT.HAT., a German motto translating as 'Misery does no harm to him who has virtue.' |
