Reverse description The Madonna, depicted standing or enthroned wearing an open crown, holds the Christ Child on her right arm in the traditional Patrona Hungariae type. In the lower field, a small escutcheon bearing the Szapolyai wolf device is placed beneath the Virgin, serving as a secondary heraldic reference to the issuing ruler. The surrounding Latin legend, divided on either side of the central device, reads PATRONA HV - NGARIE with the date 1539, identifying the Virgin Mary as Patroness of Hungary.
