| Reverse description | A detailed panoramic cityscape of Osnabrück occupies the lower portion of the field, depicting towers, fortifications, churches, and civic buildings rendered with topographic precision. Above the city view, at centre, two symbols of authority — a sword surmounted by a prancing horse (emblematic of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg) and an episcopal crozier — are crossed diagonally and bound together with a decorative ribbon bow, symbolising the union of temporal and ecclesiastical power. The circumferential legend IVNGVNTVR FELICITER (They are joined happily) arcs around the upper field in bold Latin capitals, alluding to the auspicious combination of Ernest August's ducal and episcopal dignities. |
