| Reverse description | A detailed bird's-eye perspective view of the Abbey of Muri complex fills the field, depicting the monastery's church with its prominent spires at centre, flanked by the conventual buildings, courtyards, gardens, and ancillary structures all rendered in meticulous Baroque engraving. At the base of the architectural view, the abbey's heraldic shield is prominently displayed beneath the complex. The date MDCCXX appears in the lower exergue, split across the shield. The surrounding circular legend reads IVBILÆVS . ÆT . LXXXIV . REGIM . XXXVI, recording the jubilee, the abbot's age of 84, and his 36th year of rule. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
