| Reverse description | Central design featuring a symmetrical six-armed cross with a scalloped central medallion bearing the Roman numeral III in the field. Each arm of the cross terminates in stylized lily or floral sprays, with additional floral and foliate ornaments filling the angles between the arms, creating an elaborate heraldic composition. The legend PRO PROSPERITATE MUNDI arcs around the upper and left periphery, while ARGENTEUS is inscribed along the lower field, and the fineness indicator 1000 appears at the base of the central cross motif. |

| Additional information |
No standard German Federal Republic coinage program in 1964 produced a "3 Argenteus" denomination, and the Magna Mater attribution here raises immediate questions — the cult of Cybele has no documentary connection to postwar West German commemorative issues. The reference X#M289 places this squarely in the Unusual World Coins catalog, meaning it is a fantasy piece or privately issued medal, not a state-authorized coin. Treat accordingly when assigning catalog status.
