| Reverse description | The reverse displays the quartered coat of arms of the City of Hildesheim at center, depicting an eagle in the upper quarters and a checkerboard or scaled pattern in the lower quarters, rendered in relief within a shield. The arms are set within a beaded inner border that follows the octagonal shape of the planchet. The circular legend 'HILF GOTT HILDESHEIM ALLWEGE!' — the historic civic motto meaning 'Help God Hildesheim always!' — surrounds the shield, interrupted at the base by three ornamental floral and star devices evenly spaced along the lower arc. |
