| Reverse description | The reverse features a central medallion enclosed within a beaded inner circle bearing a seven-line Latin devotional inscription in the field. Surrounding this central text, arranged in a continuous border around the periphery, are fourteen heraldic shields of the city councillors and church patrons who sponsored the construction, each accompanied by their abbreviated initials separated by stars. The outer legend formed by these initials reads: BR HP WS MR MH CG HM IP GD MM WL AP TG IS PP IIA, identifying the donors by their monograms. The central inscription, rendered in capital letters, reads: EST TVA / SACTA TRIAS / DOMVS HAC: DA / NOMEN IN ILLA / ET TVA PP ET VO / DOGATA PVRA / SONENT, a Latin dedicatory verse invoking the Holy Trinity. The overall design is executed with meticulous craftsmanship consistent with the high-quality hammered gold coinage of the Imperial Free Cities during the Thirty Years' War era. |
