| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic view of the city of Gdańsk (Danzig) as seen from the river, with numerous steeples, towers, and fortifications rendered in fine engraving across the central field. Above the cityscape, rays of divine light emanate from a radiant eye-of-God symbol in the upper portion of the field, symbolizing heavenly protection over the city. In the lower exergue, the Gdańsk civic arms — a crowned shield bearing two crosses — are flanked by the divided date 16-50 and the mint master's initials G and R. The entire central design is enclosed within a laurel wreath, with the Latin legend EX AURO SOLIDO CIVITAS GEDANENSIS FIERI F running around the outer border, meaning 'the city of Gdańsk had this made from solid gold.' |
