| Reverse description | A finely detailed bird's-eye panoramic view of the city of Lucerne fills the lower field, depicting the Reuss River, Chapel Bridge, the Musegg Wall with its towers, and Lake Lucerne beyond. Above the cityscape, the crowned Madonna holding the Christ Child appears enthroned on clouds in high relief, accompanied to the right by a flying putto holding a torch. The legend LVCERNA PEDIBVS MEIS arcs around the upper field within a beaded border. |
