| Reverse description | An ornate floriated cross with elaborately foliated arms, each angle filled with decorative garland sprays and floral motifs, all contained within an inner beaded circle. The surrounding legend is divided between the upper and lower portions of the field, reading FORTISSIMA 1762 NOMEN DOMINI TURRIS, a reference to the biblical motto of the city of Frankfurt. The overall design is characteristic of the baroque artistic style prevalent in German civic coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
