| Reverse description | Two allegorical female busts, representing Justice and Peace, are depicted side by side in the center of the field, their faces turned toward one another in an embrace, evoking the classical motif of the kiss of Peace and Justice. Justice holds a sword to the lower left, while Peace bears an olive branch or palm to the lower right. Three imperial crowns are arranged above the paired figures: one large crown at center top flanked by two smaller crowns to the left and right, symbolizing Matthias's triple kingship of Hungary, Bohemia, and the Holy Roman Empire. The circular Latin legend, reading SVB TRIPL MATH DIADEM PAX ET IUSTIT SE OSCVLAB, translates as 'Under the triple diadem of Matthias, Peace and Justice shall kiss each other,' a reference to Psalm 85:10. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border and a milled outer rim, executed in bold high relief in the Baroque medallic style. |
