| Reverse description | A crowned imperial orb surmounted by a cross rests upon a terrestrial globe emerging from billowing clouds, symbolising universal dominion. Above, an all-seeing Eye of God enclosed within a triangle radiates bold, sweeping rays that fill the entire field, evoking divine providence and protection over the newborn prince. The composition is executed in deeply struck high relief, characteristic of Bavarian Baroque medallic engraving. The circular legend, divided by the central design, reads DEO AVSPICE EX PARVO SPES MAXIMA MVNDI, proclaiming that under God's auspices the greatest hope of the world springs from small beginnings. |
