| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold five-line Latin inscription within an elaborate Baroque cartouche formed by scrolling acanthus and foliate strapwork, surmounted by a winged cherub head (putto) at the top. The text reads DVCATVS / REIPVBLICAE / LVCER: / NENSIS, identifying the coin as a ducat of the Republic of Lucerne. The overall composition is richly sculpted in high relief, characteristic of the refined medallic engraving style associated with this series. |
