| Reverse description | A human skeleton in profile facing right, rendered in high relief, with a serpent coiled around the ribcage and a small frog or toad visible at the lower right near the skeletal hands. The legend encircles the composition within the oval border, forming a memento mori device that mirrors the living figure on the obverse. |
