Reverse description Panoramic mining scene depicting the St. Wenzel mine at Wolffach, with mine buildings, a winding gear, and hilly landscape rendered in fine engraved detail across the central field. To the right stands the armored figure of St. Wenceslaus in full relief, crowned and wearing a cape, serving as patron saint of the mine. A cartouche in the lower field bears the German inscription recording the mine's output during the Reminiscere quarter of 1767, with the date 1767 prominently displayed within a foliate frame at the base. An upper legend above the scene reads DILIGENTIA INDUSTRIA, referencing the virtues of diligence and industry. The overall composition exemplifies the commemorative mining thaler tradition of southern German princely states.
