| Reverse description | An ornate baroque cartouche, richly decorated with scrollwork and strapwork characteristic of mid-seventeenth-century engraving, dominates the reverse field. At the apex of the cartouche, a small frontal bust or figural finial is prominently placed. Within the cartouche, a five-line Latin inscription fills the central area, conveying a devotional appeal for divine preservation of peace. The date 1647 appears within the legend, reflecting the die preparation date rather than the striking year. The overall composition exemplifies the elaborate decorative sensibility of the Zürich municipal mint of the period. |
