Reverse description Two ornately framed heraldic shields displayed side by side beneath a large imperial crown, set within elaborate Baroque scrollwork and foliate ornaments. The left shield bears the arms of the Bishopric of Bamberg — a rampant lion with a diagonal band — while the right shield depicts the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) passant, representing the personal arms of Philipp Valentin. A patriarchal cross appears in the upper left field and additional decorative elements flank the composition. The date 1657 is inscribed in the exergue below the shields.
