| Reverse description | A kneeling allegorical female figure, representing Bavaria, is depicted at the left in supplicant posture, her right arm raised and pointing toward a large pyramidal stone tablet at the right upon which a votive inscription is engraved in multiple lines. Above the pyramid radiates a glory of sunbeams surmounted by the All-Seeing Eye within a triangle, symbolising divine blessing. The Bavarian shield lies at the feet of the kneeling figure. The engraver's signature SCHEGA F. appears in the lower exergue, and a circumferential Latin legend citing Genesis 49:25 frames the entire composition. |
