| Reverse description | An elaborate allegorical scene in high relief depicting the presentation of the newborn Archduke Leopold. A kneeling female figure (representing Flanders or a province) receives the infant from a seated armored figure, while a standing classical figure looks on from the right. Military trophies, standards bearing the S.P.Q.R. inscription, shields with heraldic arms, spears, and other martial emblems fill the background. The circumferential legend, which forms a chronogram for the year 1716, reads around the border. |
