| Reverse description | A detailed perspective panoramic view of the fortified castle of Buda as it appeared during the period of Ottoman occupation fills the central and lower fields, rendered in fine relief with architectural and topographical precision evoking late seventeenth-century cartographic imagery. The radiant Hungarian royal shield, bearing the traditional Árpád stripes and the apostolic cross, is prominently displayed above the cityscape in the upper field. The commemorative legend BVDAVÁR VISSZAVÉTELE and the historically significant date 1686 are inscribed in the field, referencing the recapture of Buda Castle from Ottoman forces by the Holy League. |
