| Reverse description | The Virgin Mary (Madonna) standing facing, nimbed, holding the Christ Child in her left arm, rendered in a frontal hieratic pose within a beaded inner circle. The figure stands upon a crescent or cloud base, with the Child shown prominently against her body. The surrounding circular Latin legend ANTE · MARIA · OMNIA AVXILI is distributed around the periphery, invoking Marian intercession in the devotional tradition common to Swiss Catholic cantons of the period. |
