| Reverse description | A six-line Latin commemorative inscription contained within a square cartouche with ornamental frame, flanked above and below by a cherub's head with wings spread, all set against a plain field. The text records the date and circumstances of the king's heroic death at the Battle of Lutzen on 6 November 1632. The composition is characteristic of Nuremberg memorial pieces of the early seventeenth century, combining humanist epigraphy with baroque decorative motifs. |
