| Reverse description | Half-length figure of the Virgin Mary, crowned and nimbed, depicted facing slightly right, holding the Christ Child before her. The Christ Child is shown in three-quarter view, reaching upward toward the Virgin. The figures are rendered in the late Gothic style characteristic of late 15th-century Swiss coinage, with draped robes falling in stylized folds. The scene is surrounded by a beaded inner border with the Marian legend AVE:MARIA:GRACIA:PL. in Gothic uncial lettering. |
